An Overview of Pervasive Control Center


Pervasive Control Center (PCC) is an integrated framework in which users can connect to Pervasive.SQL engines, set up and modify databases, query and update data, and tune engine performance.

PCC uses a Windows Explorer-like motif-a tree of objects-referred to elsewhere as the "Namespace." This tree of objects can be opened or expanded to reveal more detail. Examples of objects include engines, databases, tables, users and engine configuration settings. Figure 3-1 shows a picture of PCC.

Each object in the tree, when selected, has its own set of functions and its own set of tools to enable these functions. For example, if one of the Databases located under a Pervasive.SQL engine is selected, a different set of tools appears in the toolbar than if Configuration is selected. The Configuration tools function separately from the Pervasive.SQL engine tools.

Much of the functionality of PCC is implemented as wizards that act upon objects in the namespace. To perform a function on a given object, right-click on the object and choose from the list of actions in the Tasks menu.

Some utilities have not yet been tightly integrated within the PCC framework. However, they may still be started from within PCC by selecting them through the Tools menu, which is available when anything but the Control Center Root is selected. The non-integrated tools that may be selected this way include:
