Title: Pervasive Version Question. . .
Post by TGerak on 11/15/10 at 08:28:14

We're running DBA Classic in Client/Server mode. Our clients all have Pervasive Version 8. I noticed when I go into Pervasive Utilities the server still seems to be Version 2000. What's the best way to upgrade the server side to get everyone on the same version?

We're beginning to use ODBC connectors, and it looks like Version 2000 doesn't play as nicely as Version8.

TIA

Mixing versions is definitely BAD but neither 2000 nor 8 is still available or supported. You need to either downgrade all your workstations to 2000 to match your server (I am surprised you are not having all sorts of record locking issues but having all V8 workstations may be better than a mix of 2000 and V8 workstations) or upgrade to a current version (10 or recently released 11) available from IS Tech Support. The newer versions are definir=tely improvements in the ODBC aspect.

We are fortunately not having record locking issues. We're beginning to have issues with Pervasive faulting. That's a recent development since setting up the ODBC connectors. Sounds like a good time to get everyone on the same Pervasive page.
