Distributing the Pervasive Client

How to Install Clients for your Pervasive.SQL Server

To access network files from a workstation using a Pervasive.SQL application, you must use the appropriate requester at that workstation. Your application's Pervasive.SQL calls go through the requester, which sends them to the server for processing and then returns the reply to your application.

If this is the first time you are installing a requester, follow the topics in the order in which they appear in this chapter:

• Introduction to Client Distribution
• Minimal Clients: Using the Pervasive.SQL Server for Requester Operations
• Installing Clients Using a Systems Management Server
• Where To Go From Here

If you are installing requesters for the first time, we recommend that you read the entire chapter.
