Driver Requirements

To access a Btrieve database, you must be using the appropriate client software for the version of the Btrieve database to which you are connecting:

Database Versions	Client Names
Pervasive.SQL 8.5	Pervasive.SQL 8.5 client software
Pervasive.SQL 2000	Pervasive.SQL 2000 client software
Pervasive.SQL 7.0	Pervasive.SQL 7.0 client software
Btrieve 6.15 for Windows 9x	Btrieve Developer’s Kit or Btrieve WorkStation Client Engine
Btrieve 6.15 for Windows NT	Btrieve Developer’s Kit, Btrieve WorkStation Client Engine, or Btrieve Client/Server Database Engine

NOTE: The Btrieve driver may experience problems if the Btrieve Microkernel Engine’s communication buffer size is smaller than that of the Btrieve driver’s Array Size option. You can increase the communication buffer size with the Pervasive Software Setup Utility, or you can decrease the value of Array Size option through the ODBC Btrieve Driver setup dialog box or through the ArraySize connection string attribute.

Before you attempt to access Btrieve files, you must incorporate existing Btrieve files into a Scalable SQL database. See “Managing Databases” for information about Scalable SQL databases.
