Using the DB_EXISTS Function

The ODBC system is not available on all systems. Use the DB_EXISTS function to determine if a database is available and licensed on your system. To check whether ODBC is available on your system, enter the following at the IDL prompt:

status = DB_EXISTS() 

If IDL DataMiner and ODBC drivers are installed on your system and the DataMiner option is properly licensed, the DB_EXISTS function returns 1; otherwise the function returns 0.
