I was trying to download Netezza odbc driver for linux machine, i was following downloading steps from
https://dwgeek.com/download-configure-netezza-linux-odbc-driver.html/
and also tried from
https://knowledge.informatica.com/s/article/HOW-TO-Download-the-Netezza-ODBC-driver?language=en_US
after at selection of fix pack and clicked on continue , i got following error
Unable to solve this error of driver download.
And wanted to know about if netezza drivers are free of cost or paid ?
It requires entitlement i.e. paid for now. There is an ongoing effort to make the drivers freely available.

Since Oracle Database cannot be installed on Apple Silicon, I decided to take a workaround, but now I do not understand how to connect to the Oracle Database, which I installed on a Windows 11 virtual machine through Parallels.
I understand that this makes little sense, since in fact you can use Oracle from Windows 11 and do whatever you want with it.
But as an experiment, I wanted to try connecting to an already deployed HR database in my Windows 11 virtual machine using DataGrip on my Apple Silicon (M1) computer.
I know that there are other ways to use Oracle on a Mac (using Docker for example) but maybe we can come up with some other alternative, or maybe there already is, but I don't know about it.
I hope I wrote as clear as possible. Sorry, I'm using a translator.
I used this instruction to install Instant Client (as I understand it, this tool helps us connect to the Database server, be it a virtual machine or a remote server), I spent several hours installing everything. In Datagrip, when connecting, I specified different settings, wrote the path to the installed instantclient, however, I constantly get an error when connecting (whatever settings I choose), I googled this error, but I still did not understand how I can apply them It is for M1 and not Windows computers.
The error looked like this:
Failed DBMS: Oracle (no ver.) Case sensitivity: plain=mixed, delimited=exact Native library cannot be loaded. no ocijdbc21 in java.library.path: /Users/malkhaz/instantclient_19_8:/Users/malkhaz/lib:/Users/malkhaz/instantclient_19_8.
While trying to connect Dbeaver to Vertica, I keep getting the below error:
//
Can't create driver instance

I tried using different JDBC drivers versions but the error remains the same.
I am using MacBookPro with M1 Pro.
I would appreciate any pointers to solve this issue.
I work on the Client Drivers team at Vertica. The problem most likely has to do with the JVM on your M1 macbook. If you try java -version do you get a number like 1.7.0_261 or 17? An M1 macbook will have the open JDK and you will have the simpler version numbering scheme. The Vertica JDBC driver has a bug and does not work with the newer style of version numbers used by JVMs like the one for the open JDK.
As a work around, if you can get a JVM that uses the 1.7 style versioning, that should prevent this from happening. It may be that the Open JDK is the only JVM you can use.
We have also fixed the issue in our latest driver code and plan to release it in our next release, which is due out in a few months. Our drivers are backwards compatible with older versions of Vertica, so you will be able to use the new driver without updating the Vertica server. See Vertica Client Drivers
Lastly, if your organization has a Vertica support plan, you can submit a support request on this issue. You will get notified when there is a driver you can download that resolves the issue.
I have spent at least one hour trying to find the tar.gz for Linux, for version 11.1 or at least 10.5. All IBM links either don't work or take me to general DB2 pages that have nothing for Express-C. It's as if IBM is hiding the download links. In the past I have downloaded it several times from URLs that now don't work. I was only able to find the Windows version at a non-IBM site (a version I don't want).
Thanks for any pointers.
You can find the Express-C download at the below link:
https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/pickUrxNew.do?source=swg-db2expressc
If you are not using cloud based Db2 offerings, at the present date you can choose only between a docker-image based solution (IBM Db2 Developer Community Edition), or a trial version (90 days) of locally installed Db2.
The docker-image solution is currently V11.1 based and runs on Linux and Mac and Windows provided that the prerequisites are met.
Both offerings are accessible via this link
https://www.ibm.com/analytics/us/en/db2/trials/
Re Db2 Express-C, it may have been withdrawn from marketing. Study this thread:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=c53df683-6e51-41fa-96ce-0a3d7cfe741f&ps=25
If you have a Passport Advantage contract (for paying customers) you may find additional downloads.
Db2 Developer-C Edition is a non-docker version that can be used for non-production use for free

I've scoured the internet looking for Netezza ODBC drivers for Mac OS X but I haven't found any. Does anybody know whether or not it exists or where to find it? All of what I've identified were Netezza ODBC drivers for Windows.
IBM does not currently provide Netezza ODBC drivers for OSX clients. From the other answers it sounds like there may be unsupported workarounds thouh.
A few other answers mention unixODBC, however this is not a driver. iODBC and unixODBC are both driver managers, which are essential parts of the ODBC stack that also include an ODBC driver. Having one of iODBC or unixODBC would not alleviate the need to have an ODBC driver as well. It's also worth pointing out that OSX comes with iODBC by default.
Although there doesn't appear to be any first-party Netezza ODBC drivers on OSX, there are other solutions for getting an ODBC driver. One of those solutions is to build your own ODBC driver using something like the SimbaEngine SDK (http://www.simba.com/products/simba-engine-sdk), or having a company like Simba build the driver for you.
You could also petition IBM to release versions of their ODBC drivers on Mac, however you may not have much luck unless you have some money to put behind your request.
Note that in the interests of disclosure, I work for Simba.
For Linux environment UnixOdbc can be used and recommended by IBM to install NZClient. For Mac version details can be found at following link or Source (CPP) files available at site which you can compile and use the binary -

I have a pretty generic 64bit driver based on bulkusb.sys in WDK. It's been working for years with an embedded program, but now it is needed to work on Vista 64.
From all the documentation I've tried to look through there doesn't seem to be anything affecting it, except compiling it for the 64bit environment, and yet when I compile it with the AMD64 build environment, I get "driver not intended for this platform" error message when it's trying to open the sys.
What could be the solution for this?
Update:
What exactly do you mean by "trying to open the sys"? In the log, when it tries to run the sys file of the driver(not error in the inf) it fails.
What WDK version are you using? 7600.16385.0
Are both building and trying to deploy on the same Vista x64 machine?
No, I'm building on 32bit xp, but I don't see how it matters, since I use the correct build environment.
Is your driver signed with a cross-signed certificate? No, I've tried enabling unsigned drivers, and it didn't help, but I'm also not sure what will be going on with this subject at all, and if you can give me some info on that as well, it will be welcome.
Is the right build environment chosen (chk/fre/amd64/win2k)?
I've used chk-vista-amd64. Since it's for vista 64bit...
If your code are based on bulkusb.sys in WDK, you should just try to compile the code of Bulk USB device driver for Intel 82930 USB test board included in C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\src\usb\usbsamp\sys of WinDDK. Then if it could be started in your environment, try to compare the code from WinDDK which you used (for yeas) as a template of your driver with the current version of usbsamp from WinDDK 7600.16385.1. You will see which changes where made in usbsamp. Probably the same changes you should do in your program.
I could not give more exact answer, because I am trying to find an error in a code which I don't see. It seems to me not easy.
Make sure that you're removing the copy of the driver in
%WinDir%\System32\DriverStore
Because otherwise newer versions of the driver that you try to install on the system won't be used.
There are 2 ways to do this:
1) Plug-in your device and install the incorrect driver, and remove using Device manager, but when removing, use the mouse-menu and not the delete key, and check the box about "removing the driver"
2) Locate the OEM##.inf file corresponding to your driver in %WinDir%\Inf.
using an elevated command line windows (i.e. Run as Admin) use
pnputil -d oem##.inf
Now you can install the new version of your driver.
