It can't be: the driver is for "Adabas D" and Adabas (no D) is a different
product.

This "Community Edition" is an old, crippled version of the "Adabas D"
product.
Apart from the name, it has nothing to do with the real Adabas database;
according to Wikipedia, Software AG bought the engine from a different
company and renamed it in the 1990s.

The PDF fact sheet on
http://www.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/adabas/rela_3rd_prod/adad/default.asp
is dated from 2007 and includes a reference to Adabas D 14; with such a
version gap 4 years ago, I can't help believing the "community version"
has been abandoned ...
