Pervasive Data Provider for .Net Available for Download

This new provider is built with 100% managed code and is compliant
with the .NET 1.1 Framework Software Development Kit (SDK).

Along with the high performance that would might expect from the
managed provider, the Pervasive provider also features advanced
functions such as:

Stream Objects - for high performance throughput even when using large
binary or text objects
Wire Encryption - for secure communication locally or over the
Internet
Connection Failover - allows connection to an alternate, or backup,
database server if the primary database is unavailable
Client load balancing - leverages Connection Failover to distribute
new connections in your environment so that no one server is
overwhelmed with connection requests

Using this provider you can connect to Pervasive.SQL V8 level database
engines from Windows NT 4 / ME/ 98 2000 / 2003 & Windows XP Home and
Pro Editions.

And best of all - its FREE for Developer Program members!
