    Link tables in two different odbc databases

    Christiaan, Thank you for your quick response. I have not tried anything yet. This problem was posed to me only on Friday and I have to admit I haven't a clue as to how to start. We have a company-wide PSQL database with a table called 'staff' and the HR department want to purchase a Paradox...

    Accessing Pervasive.SQL V8 with VB.NET 2005

    Hi, I am having problems connecting a simple application written in VB.NET (2005) with our Pervasive.SQL V8 database. I have attempted three methods: 1. using OdbcConnection - the application works fine but remains in memory when closed. This happens only when I populate a DataSet object...

    Tom, I'm probably showing my ignorance with this question!!! Is there meant to be one DDF file per table? Cheers Jeremy

    Newly added column has copy of random data from other columns - help

    The problem only seems to occur for varchar and longvarchar type columns. Your suggestion will probably be an adequate work-around but I am still a little worried about the root-cause of the problem. Of all the tables in the database, the Project table is by far the largest with the most...

    Newly added column has copy of random data from other columns - help

    Newly added column has copy of random data from other columns - help

    Tom, Thanks for your rapid response. I have never been near the DDF (as far as I know). I added the columns to the table using ALTER TABLE sql statement. I'm not sure I am able to give you a before and after scenario - other than a list of columns in the table. For what it is worth the...

    Newly added column has copy of random data from other columns - help

    When I add a new column to an existing table the new column is automatically populated with what appears to be random copies of data in other columns in the same table. It has happened twice - the first time with longvarchar type columns and the second more recent one with varchar (length 50)...
