Setting the DBMS Generation Parameter

When setting the DBMS Generation parameter, ODBC/ADO.NET or any valid DBMS can be chosen. Regardless of the setting, all database accesses are generated as ADO.NET calls.

The only advantage to choosing a specific DBMS over ODBC/ADO.NET is that choosing a specific DBMS uses the table names, index names, and other user-modified names that have been defined under the Technical Design dialogs. Therefore, it may be better to choose a specific DBMS when the application will access an existing database. Applications accessing a new database may want to choose ODBC/ADO.NET.
