The following table maps the various providers to the operating system and RDBMS versions against which they have been tested (T). The RDBMS-based providers (ArcSDE and MySQL) require that the corresponding RDBMS client is installed. The ODBC provider requires that an ODBC driver be installed on Linux. Windows XP contains the required ODBC drivers.
