Pervasive PSQL 10 - Update an DDF

Question

I'm using Pervasive PSQL Server 10 and I need to update my DDF-Files, because some components have problems accessing to a database, which was created with an previous version.

The DDFBuilder also says: "Scalable SQL v3.00 data dictionary files (DDFs) were detected. DDFBuilder does not support operations with v3.00 DDFs. Please convert the DDFs to V4.00 using Pervasive's Scalable SQL v4.00 DDF Conversion Utility."

There is no such Utility on the website of Pervasive. It seems it was part of PSQL 7.

Answer 1

The only option you have is to create a new set of DDFs and use those. You can create a new, empty set of DDFs by creating a PSQL database pointing to directory without DDFs.
You will need to recreate the table entries in the new DDFs.
My suggestion is to create the DDFs in a new directory, back up the old DDFs, copy the new DDFs to the directory where the old DDFs were, then create new table entries either using CREATE TABLE statements or DDF Builder.
