Microsoft SQL Server has
changed in version 7. USoft now provides a driver supporting MS SQL
Server 7.0 based on OLE DB.
Microsoft has declared end of
support on DB-Library. Thus, USoft's existing MS SQL Server driver,
based on Sybase DB-Library, used for both Microsoft SQL Server
Version 6.5 and the Sybase database, will become obsolete, with the
advent of Microsoft's SQL Server version 7. Microsoft supports
DB-Library only for backward compatibility, i.e. no new
functionality will be added to it. It is recommended that
DB-Library should not be used in new developments since Microsoft
will discontinue DB-Library in the near future. Note that upgrading
SQL Server to Version 7.0 will not require any changes to SQL or
constraints in your existing USoft application.
Since the new driver is based
on OLE DB the consumer components must be installed on the client.
This is performed automatically during SQL Server 7.0 client
setup.
