Dear Pervasives!
We use PervasiveSQL V8 under different Environments. Windows, Novell
etc. Now we installed it on Linux (Debian and Suse) and face some
problems.

1. I thought Pervasive doesn't need Samba at all but if I stop SAMBA I
cannot even find the server engine through PCC

2. I use a share on my linux machine this:
The original path is /home/psql/data/aerkop13
The share is on psql/data shared as psqldata
For example I can view my files saying "dir \home\psqldata\aerkop\*"

If I open the BTrieve Files thru transantional access I recive an
error "invalid filename". Doesn't Btrieve support shares ?

Any suggestions will be welcome

Peter

PCC does not use or depend on samba to connect.
Do you have name resolution without SAMBA?
Does PCC connect if you register the server as its IP address?
It supports explicit shares only. Implicit shares like home
directories are not generated. It also only supports the first 20
shares.

A microkernel trace will show what filename is being passed in on the
open. Use the smb.conf file pointed to in the
/usr/local/psql/etc/bti.ini file to translate shares back into paths.
I have seen some inexplicable strange behavior when the directory
names match share names.

Also keep in mind that the database engine runs as a regular user
account 'psql' and would need to have access rights to the data files
and the directory itself to open and read the files.
