VoiceCheck™ ODBC

The VoiceCheck™ SDK is now available with SQL Database Persistence via a replacement for the Flat-File version of VC_Database.DLL. Please note the following regarding this new option:

  • VoiceCheck™ ODBC allows storage of all VoiceCheck™ data in a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Currently, VoiceCheck™ ODBC has been tested with Microsoft SQL Server 2019, MySQL 8, Oracle 21c and PostreSQL 12.10 on both Windows and Linux.
  • VoiceCheck™ ODBC enables scalability by allowing data to be stored in a database of your choice. Tables can coexist with other data in the same application database; or they can be stored in a separate database on the same server, or a different server.
  • Multi-threaded/multi-process support is enabled in VoiceCheck™ ODBC.
  • The VC_Database and VC_DatabaseUser classes have the same interface for VoiceCheck™ ODBC as for the Flat-File storage option.
  • Minimal changes are required in order to provide a database user ID and database user password to the VC_Database instance constructor. Also, instead of supplying a path name as the database name of the VC_Database instance constructor, a ODBC DSN should be used.
  • VoiceCheck™ tables are automatically created in the database instance given in the VC_Database instance constructor
