Multiple Version Support is a new feature that allows the coexistence of multiple driver versions on a system at the same time. The following table lists a series of installation scenarios.
| Installation Scenario | Existing | Install | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upgrade | 15.10.01.x | 16.00.00.00 | 15.10.01.x already exists on the system and it is replaced by 16.00.00.00. |
| Fresh Install | N/A | 16.00.00.00 | No driver already exists on the system and then 16.00.00.00 is installed. |
| Side-by-Side | 15.10.01.x | 16.00.00.00 | 15.10.01.x already exists on the system and then 16.00.00.00 is installed in addition to 15.10.01.x. Existing applications that use DSN-less connections with the driver name Teradata may connect with the 15.10.01.x driver. If you want to connect with the 16.00 driver then you may have to either uninstall 15.10.01.x and create a custom driver name or change your application to use a different connection string.
