Low Level Table Open Techniques

Every database driver includes a package that contains definitions and commands specific to that environment.

• MSSQLdrv.pkg for SQL Server

• DB2_drv.pkg for DB2

• ODBC_drv.pkg for ODBC

• DFBTRdrv.pkg for Pervasive.SQL

You can use these in DataFlex source code to make your application more back end specific. This might make the program unusable for other database types.

In addition to the commands defined in the driver package, you can use Embedded SQL.

• User Information Outside the .INT File

• Opening a Table without Using an Intermediate File

• Opening a Table with a Connection String

• DataFlex Connection IDs
