Optional System Requirements

ODS Optional System Requirements
Optional Requirement
Automatic compilation of MS Jet 4 DAL source code:

The .NET Framework 2.0 SDK is required if you want ODS to automatically compile generated DAL source code that references COM components. As of ODS 2.2 this applies only to MS Jet 4 databases.

The SDK ships with Visual Studio 2005 or can be downloaded directly from the Microsoft website: .NET Framework 2.0 SDK x86 for 32-bit operating systems or .NET Framework 2.0 SDK x64 for 64-bit operating systems.
Automatic compilation of MySQL DAL source code: If you configure your DAL to support MySQL databases then the generated source code will reference the ADO.NET Driver for MySQL. Although the ADO.NET Driver for MySQL is not required for source code generation, it must be installed for compilation to succeed. The ADO.NET Driver for MySQL can be downloaded from the MySQL website.
