Re: Linux-Client - Access to Btrieve-DB on Netware server with IPX

#1

If you use the ancient Btrieve 6.10 components, originally designed for
Unix, you might be able to get them to work via SPX.

The newer Pervasive.SQL V8 client for Linux requires TCP/IP
communications. I'm not sure if the V8 Linux client will work to a
Btrieve 6.15 server or not -- it might require V8 Server as well...

Hi,

Im trying to open a Netware-4.1-Server based Btrieve (6.15) table
from a linux client (Suse 9.1).

Netware File-Access via IPX is OK (ncpmount), I made a little Kylix
app using "libbtrvif.so" but get error 20 only.

The access from Windows works with allmost the same little app
(Delphie), only another Lib (WBTRV32.DLL) and another call (Linux
"BTRV" vs. Windows "BTRCALL")

Is this the correct way or does "libbtrvif.so" not "talk" IPX?

Thanks,

The current Pervasive.SQL client for Linux does not talk over the SPX
protocol.

The 6.10 and 6.15 versions of Btrieve were incompatible with each
other over the wire.

If I understand correctly, the way the requests are formatted is
different so I would not expect it to work at all.

do you know which incompatiblities?
doesn't it run at all or only some functions?
