You do need to of course still correctly set up an ODBC datasource driver in the Windows ODBC configuration dialog to connect - see the user guide etc. for notes on that. (Also especially just read closely the notes on 32-bit vs 64-bit versions of TLex - when you install TLex it installs both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TLex (on a 32-bit Windows only 32-bit TLex will work but on a 64-bit Windows both should work fine and you can use either 32-bit TLex or 64-bit TLex. You can select which one to run as there are two different shortcuts from the Windows start menu (the 64-bit one is labelled 64-bit). BUT the important thing to note is that 64-bit WINDOWS has two entirely separate ODBC configuration dialogs for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. If you tap the Windows start menu and type ODBC you will see "ODBC Data Sources (32-bit)" and another separate one "ODBC Data Sources (64-bit)" - and you MUST just set up the ODBC client driver in the Windows ODBC Data Source dialog for the same bit size, e.g. so 32-bit TLex can only "see" ODBC data sources configured in Windows ODBC 32-bit dialog, and 64-bit TLex can only "see" ODBC data sources configured in Windows 64-bit dialog. For simplicity sake I suggest perhaps just say stick to 32-bit throughout in case some users have only 32-bit Windows. The only reason to use 64-bit TLex is if you have MASSIVE datasets (like 1Gigabytes or larger dicitonary with hundreds of thousands of entries) (The database SERVER e.g. postgresql it doesn't matter and makes no difference if you use 64-bit or 32-bit but generally 64-bit is 'better') If I recall correctly the only main limitation of the evaluation version (other than expiry date) is I think there is a limit on how many entries you may export in some of the exporters at once. One more note, the current evaluation version has already expired so we must do new TLex build and release with new expiry dates, then you will have to just download again the next release. - David On 3 Nov 2022 at 11:33, Nika Zhenya wrote: Date sent: Thu, 3 Nov 2022 11:33:22 -0700 To: tshwanelex-l at mailman.yale.edu From: Nika Zhenya Subject: [Tshwanelex-l] Fwd: TLex evaluation mode and ODBC Database > Hi, first of all, sorry if this question was already ask.
