“Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSE: OTC), the leading
provider of collaborative knowledge management and corporate portal
solutions, today announced the release of the BASIS Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC) and BASIS Perl DBI Drivers, enhancing the
accessibility and openness of BASIS Web applications and advancing
BASIS integration with Open Text’s collaborative portal solution,
MyLivelink.”
“The BASIS JDBC Driver enables Web developers to build
applications that take advantage of such BASIS features as
searching against hybrid databases of relational, bibliographic,
and textual information. Open Text’s strategy of using standards
such as Java and JDBC lowers the cost of application development
and increases interoperability between BASIS and other
applications. The BASIS Perl DBI Driver exposes BASIS server
functionality through Perl, thereby extending the ability to
customize Open Text’s BASIS WEBserver product. The BASIS Perl
DBI Driver is an Open Source Initiative — this means that
binary and source code is licensed at no charge, encouraging BASIS
customers around the world to contribute their own functional
extensions to the product.”
