Installation Instructions
Before You Install
The SPSS Data Access Pack allows you to install any or all of the following components:
!
Connect ODBC drivers
!
Connect JDBC
!
SequeLink ODBC and JDBC clients
!
Online documentation for Connect ODBC and SequeLink
These components allow you to retrieve data from databases in a network environment. How you proceed
depends on whether or not you have an SPSS system administrator.
If you have an SPSS system administrator. Contact your SPSS system administrator for information about
how to configure your desktop computer with the SPSS Data Access Pack. In some cases you will not need
to install anything. If your administrator tells you to run this setup procedure, follow his or her instructions.
If you currently have SPSS Data Access Pack drivers installed, do not reinstall them unless directed to do
so by your administrator.
If you do not have an SPSS system administrator. If there is no system administrator at your site, or if you
are not using this SPSS product in a network environment, you can install ODBC drivers by running this
setup.
If you are an SPSS system administrator. Decide which database access technology you want to use at your
site. Then decide which client software to install and where to install it. For more information about
available database access technologies, refer to Getting Started with SPSS Data Access Technology (in
the \Installation Documents directory on your product CD).
If you have installed an earlier version of the SPSS Data Access Pack. See the What's New section for
information about what is new in this version and why you might want to upgrade.
If you are a Java Developer. If you are a Java developer and want to access data from Java applets or
applications, consider using Connect JDBC or the SequeLink JDBC Client, which are included in the SPSS
Data Access Pack. For more information, see the SPSS Data Access Pack JDBC Installation
Instructions (in the \Installation Documents directory on your product CD).

What You Need to Run the SequeLink ODBC Client on Windows
The minimum hardware and software requirements for the SequeLink ODBC client are:
• Eight megabytes of random-access memory (RAM) on Windows 95 or Windows 98, and 16MB on
Windows NT and 2000.
• A Winsock 1.1-compliant (or above) TCP/IP stack.
• A server on the network running SequeLink Server 5.1.
Note that these requirements are for the SequeLink ODBC client only; your SPSS product may have
additional requirements.
What's New?
If you have an SPSS administrator at your site, do not upgrade unless you are directed to do so.
Installing a driver or client from this SPSS Data Access Pack does not uninstall earlier drivers. Instead it
makes the newly-installed software available to you. The newly-installed software must be manually
configured; the configuration of your earlier driver is not transferred. If your earlier driver is working
properly and meets your needs, it is best not to upgrade to a new version. Only upgrade when you require
support for a database that was previously unsupported or when you require an enhancement.
Connect ODBC News
All Connect ODBC drivers are now version 3.7, service pack 1. The earlier SPSS Data Access Pack had
version 3.6 drivers. The new version contains bug fixes and support for additional database versions. You
do not need to install it unless you are experiencing a bug or need a driver that supports a recent database
release.
Connect JDBC is now included with the SPSS Data Access Pack, in addition to the SequeLink JDBC
client. If you are a developer and you want more information, see SPSS Data Access Pack JDBC
Installation Instructions (in the \Installation Documents directory on your product CD).
SequeLink News
Clients for SequeLink Server 5.1 are now included. The previous version had 5.0 and 4.5 clients. You only
need to install a SequeLink 5.1 client if you are using SequeLink Server 5.1 at your site.

system administrator.
If you have an SPSS system administrator. Get connection instructions from your SPSS system
administrator.
If you do not have an SPSS system administrator. Create and configure ODBC data sources for the Connect
ODBC driver(s) or SequeLink client that you installed.
If you are an SPSS system administrator. Create and configure end user connections according to the
database access technology that you are using at your site.
Connecting to Your Database with Connect ODBC
Connect ODBC is a set of ODBC drivers—when you install it, you install drivers. Before you can use an
installed driver you must create and configure an ODBC data source for that driver.
5
SPSS Data Access Pack Installation Instructions
An ODBC data source must consist of two pieces of information: the ODBC driver to be used to access the
data, and the location of the data that you want to access.
To configure an ODBC data source:
#
From the Start menu, choose:
Settings
Control Panel
#
In the Control Panel, double-click ODBC Data Sources. (For Windows 2000, double-click
Administrative Tools then Data Sources.)
#
To configure a new data source, click Add, select the driver that you want to use—the names of all
Connect ODBC drivers begin with the text SPSS OEM—and then click Finish. The Create New Data
Source dialog box appears.
#
To configure an existing data source, select a data source name from the list and click Configure.
#
On the Driver Setup screen that appears, fill in the necessary fields and settings. The settings available
vary by driver. For a description of each setting, click Help.
Connecting to Your Database with SequeLink ODBC Client
If you have an SPSS system administrator, ask him or her about configuring SequeLink client.
If you are an SPSS system administrator, see Getting Started with SPSS Data Access Technology
(accessible from \Installation Documents\Documents.pdf on your product CD) and the SequeLink online
documentation. Basically, to connect to data source with SequeLink, the database and the SequeLink server
must be running. The SequeLink client must be installed on the computer that is accessing and processing
data for the SPSS product. As an administrator, you must create SequeLink data sources and an ODBC data
source on the computer.
If you have not installed the SequeLink online documentation, you can install it at any time by running the
SPSS Data Access Pack setup again.
Updating Your Installation
You can install additional components at any time by repeating the setup process and selecting the
components that you want add.
Note: Installing a newer version of a driver or client from SPSS Data Access Pack does not uninstall earlier
drivers. Instead it makes the newly-installed software available to you. The newly-installed software must
be manually configured; the configuration of your earlier driver is not transferred. If your earlier driver is
working properly and meet your needs, it is best not to upgrade to a new version. Only update when you
require support for a database that was previously unsupported, or when you require an enhancement.
Uninstalling the SPSS Data Access Pack
