ODBC Connection

It is not required to install HVR on any of the nodes of the Greenplum cluster. HVR can be installed on a standalone machine from which it connects to the Greenplum cluster. HVR requires the DataDirect Connect XE ODBC driver for Greenplum installed (on the machine from which HVR connects to a Greenplum server).

For information about the supported ODBC driver version, refer to the HVR release notes (hvr.rel) available in the HVR_HOME directory or the download page.
