Pervasive Direct Access Components (PDAC) are a set of Visual Component Library (VCL) components that allow direct access to Pervasive Database Engines from within the Embarcadero Delphi and C++ Builder Environments. These components provide a replacement for the functionality of the Borland Database Engine (BDE). PDAC dramatically extends the database development options available to Delphi, C++ Builder, and RAD Studio developers.
The Pervasive Direct Access Components are provided in versions fully integrated with the following development environments:
For information on new and changed PDAC functionality in Pervasive PSQL v11 SP1, see What’s New in Pervasive PSQL.
Existing install of Pervasive PSQL v11 SP1 database engine if you want to use any features of that release.
The runtime files for the PDAC access method are installed with the Pervasive PSQL engine by default.
The header files and sample files are available via Web download at http://www.pervasivedb.com.
The PDAC samples reference a database named PVideoDB, which simulates the management of a video store. The PDAC download file includes the data files and dictionary files (DDFs) for PVideoDB, but you must create the database itself. The data files and DDFs are located in <directory>\samples\PvideoDB, where <directory> is the directory where you installed the PDAC header files and samples.
Use the following steps to create the PVideoDB database, which is required to use the PDAC samples.
1. Start Pervasive PSQL Control Center from the Pervasive group in the Start menu.
2. In Pervasive PSQL Explorer, expand the Engines node.
3. Right-click on the desired server where the database engine is running.
4. Click New > Database.
5. Type "PVideoDB" for Database Name (and use it for the DSN name).
6. Specify <directory>\samples\PVideoDB for Location, where <directory> is the location where you installed the header and sample files.
7. Click Finish.
8. Exit Pervasive PSQL Control Center.
