What is Btrieve
Btrieve is a very popular file system used worldwide in a lot of
applications, such as accounting systems. It has been in use from the
early DOS ages, and is still being used by a lot of larger software
development companies, because it is a stable and very fast way to
access data in a network environment.
Btrieve is a product of Pervasive Software, Inc.
Btrieve data can be accessed using ODBC, and through the
Btrieve API. Vo2Btrieve uses the API, to get the best performance
possible.
Btrieve files have no built in information
about the structure of the data files. Programmers have searched for
various ways to cope with this, and this has resulted in a number of
different solutions:
- Structure of the tables is stored in the program
- Structure of the tables is stored in an external file
- Structure of the tables is stored in a Data Dictionary
The last solution is by far the most
popular. The so-called DDF format is widely used. Vo2Btrieve supports
all three ways of describing the table structure.
