Purpose

The development environment is used to change the source code of MaxDB programs and to recreate these MaxDB programs.

You can use the development environment on all operating systems that are supported by the database system, although the installation and some functions differ slightly depending on the operating system.

Implementation Considerations

The development environment is a component of the MaxDB software. For information on how to get the MaxDB software, see Download. For more information about the database system, see Concepts of the Database System. For quick access to the entire documentation and an explanation of the most important terms, use the alphabetically sorted Glossary.
