DATABASE NATIVE CONNECTORS Many Native Connectors are available for third-party databases: Oracle, SQL Server,AS/400, DB2,MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, xBase, MariaDB, Informix, Progress, Sybase, etc. These Native Connectors facilitate programming (binding, etc.). They keep evolving in version 2024. 199 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM NATIVE CONNECTOR: NON- BLOCKING STORED PROCEDURES In multithreaded programming, when a stored procedure is exe- cuted, other threads can immediately access the Native Connector.
