Hi, I have a customer who installed rdbwin95.exe and was trying to run the SQL/Sevices client API IVP. The reference to this is in: c:\win95\readme a file which is created during the odbc 2.10.11 installation (rdbwin95.exe) This file says to run: sqsivp32. Sqsivp32 is nowhere on his system after installing rdbwin95.exe. This same file also refers to invoking the oracle installer by running \orawin95\orainst. But he ran setup.exe in the win95\install directory instead as the web directions state. I had him define a data source and run the Oracle ODBC for Rdb Test and it all worked fine so told him he doesn't need to run sqsivp32. I checked the old readme.txt for 2.0.20 and there is no reference to running the sql/services client api ivp. Now it has been added to the v7 client readme file. Are there any plans to include the sqsivp32 file in a future odbc release? Also, why do they refer to orainst, yet the web instructions say to invoke \platform\install\setup? Thanks, Diane

Hi Diane, In 7.0 there's a new Rdb client CD which includes the ODBC Driver, the SQL/Services client, and the Rdb DBAPack clients. The readme your customer was reading applied to this new client CD. The SQL/Services ivp is only installed if you choose to install the SQL/Services development kit from this client CD. If your customer installed ODBC only, he got the SQL/Services runtime only and not the IVP. >I had him define a data source and run the Oracle ODBC for Rdb Test and >it all worked fine so told him he doesn't need to run sqsivp32. You're right. Running the Test program and connecting to an Rdb data source accomplishes the same thing as the IVP. >Also, why do they refer to orainst, yet the web instructions say to invoke >\platform\install\setup? I don't know why - but I believe setup just invokes oracle installer - so both end up doing the same thing. Sue | |||||
