1.1 Setup OLEDB Connection for Tibero –
To setup OLEDB connection for Tibero, use the 32 bit libraries provided under
Tibero client. Then register these DLLs with the Windows 64 bit if your Windows
and ArcGIS is for 64 bit.

1. Change directory to the client installation directory e.g.

cd C:\Tibero5\client\win32\lib

2. Register the DLLs with the following command -

c:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe tbprov5.dll
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe msdtb5.dll

After registration, the following pop-up windows will be displayed. Click Ok.

3. If there is any error and you want to deregister then use following command-
regsvr32.exe /u tbprov5.dll

4. Provider Registration Verification-

Create a file on the desktop and rename as tibero.udl.

If this step can’t register OLEDB Provider in ArcGIS then try following-
C:> C:\Windows\syswow64\rundll32.exe
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common
Files\System\OleDB\oledb32.dll",OpenDSLFile <udl File path>
 5. Now you can see Tibero OLE DB Provider by selecting [Provider]. OLE DB
