Borland Database Engine and SQL Links

Deployment README File
***********************************************************
This file provides information on deploying the Borland
Database Engine (BDE) and/or SQL Links. We recommend you
read the entire contents of this file prior to deploying
the BDE or SQL Links.
Availability of SQL Links is dependent on the specific
Borland development product used. For instance, SQL Links
is included with the Enterprise editions Borland
programming tools, but not the Professional editions.
Consult the documentation of the particular Borland product
used to see whether SQL Links is included.

1. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
===========================================================
1.1 General Requirements
------------------------
Database applications that use the Borland Database Engine
(BDE) to effect database access require that the BDE be
deployed with the application. The BDE may be deployed in
whole or in part (see "3.3 Partial BDE Installs").
Installing only part of the BDE allows you to reduce the
disk space footprint of the BDE by providing only those
parts the application actually needs.
A database application that uses SQL Links to effect
connection with SQL databases requires that both the BDE
and SQL Links be distributed with the application. See
"4.1 Deploying SQL Links" for more information on dis-
tributing SQL Links.
When deploying the BDE or SQL Links with an application,
you must use InstallShield Express or another Borland-
certified installation program to install the BDE or SQL
Links. See "2. Certified Installation Programs" for more
information. In addition to satisfying this legal
requirement, using a certified installation program also:
 * Ensures that all Windows Registry entries required for
proper functioning of the BDE are made.
* Provides version checking so that a newer version of
the BDE is not overwritten with an earlier one.
* Prevents botched installs from interfering with other
BDE-using applications, including Borland products.
1.2 Royalties
-------------
No royalties or other per-installation fees are required
for the redistribution of the BDE or SQL Links with
applications. Further, you are not limited in the number of
times the BDE and SQL Links may be redistributed.
1.3 Limitations on Redistribution
---------------------------------
The BDE and SQL Links may only be redistributed with
applications created using Borland programming tools, and
then only for the purpose of use with these applications.
See the file LICENSE.TXT file for the BDE-using Borland
programming tool used for more information.

2. BORLAND-CERTIFIED INSTALLATION PROGRAMS

===========================================================
Borland products which include redistribution rights
include an Borland-certified install program, such as
InstallShield Express, to ensure proper installation and
uninstallation of your applications so that they co-exist
well with other applications which use the Borland Database
Engine (BDE) including those created with Visual dBASE,
Paradox, Delphi, and C++Builder.
Borland has also provided BDE and SQL Links installation
information to other install vendors such as Sax Software,
WISE Software, Great Lakes Business Systems (GLBS) makers
of the WISE install tool and Eschalon Development so that
their products can also be ensured to be fully compatible
with the BDE.
From time to time, Borland Software Corporation may,
at its discretion, certify additional installation programs
for use as the Borland Certified Install Program for this
product.

3. BDE DEPLOYMENT (ALL DATABASE APPLICATIONS)

===========================================================
3.1 Deploying the BDE
---------------------
A Borland-certified installation program provides all
needed functionality and steps for redistributing the
Borland Database Engine (BDE), including:
 * Selecting files to redistribute
* Determining final directory locations
* Comparing versions of BDE files
* Creation of BDE aliases
Follow the instructions of the particular installation
program used for specific steps to create an installation
program that includes the BDE.
3.2 BDE Redistributable Files
-----------------------------
When creating the installation program for a BDE-using
application, Borland-certified installation programs allow
selection of only those BDE files that can be
redistributed. So the ability to select a given file is
indication that the particular file can legally be
redistributed.
BDE files that may be redistributed with an application
include those listed below. Not all files are included in
the BDE for all Borland programming tools. Not all files
are required for any given installation (see "3.3 Partial
BDE Installs").
Core BDE Files
--------------
IDASCI32.DLL For accessing ASCII files
IDBAT32.DLL For batch movement of data
IDDA3532.DLL For accessing Microsoft Access databases
IDDAO32.DLL For accessing Microsoft Access databases
IDDBAS32.DLL For accessing dBASE databases
IDDR32.DLL For Data Repository (Paradox only)
IDODBC32.DLL For BDE access to ODBC drivers
IDPDX32.DLL For accessing Paradox databases
IDQBE32.DLL QBE query engine
IDR20009.DLL BDE resources
IDAPI32.DLL Main BDE system DLL
IDSQL32.DLL SQL query engine (including local SQL)
Language Driver Files
---------------------
BANTAM.DLL Internationalization engine
*.CVB Character set conversion files
*.BTL Locales
BLW32.DLL Expression engine
Files for Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)
--------------------------------------------
DISP.DLL MTS dispensor DLL
DISP.PAK
Auxiliary Tools/Utilities
-------------------------
BDEADMIN.* BDE Administrator utility
DATAPUMP.* Data Pump data migration tool
NOTE: For SQL Links redistributable files, see section "4.2
SQL Links Redistributable Files" below.
3.3 Partial BDE Installs
------------------------
You may optionally install only a subset of the Borland
Database Engine (BDE) with applications. This reduces the
overall size of the BDE installation as you only
redistribute the parts of the BDE an application actually
needs. For example, if the application only uses dBASE
tables, you can limit the parts of the BDE distributed to
just the BDE files that are absolutely needed for accessing
dBASE files.
A subset installation of the BDE is controlled by Install-
Shield Express (or other Borland-certified installation
program). Options during the install script design phase
guide you through a partial BDE redistribution (just as
with a full BDE install). See the on-line Help of the
particular installation program used for specific details
on defining a partial BDE redistribution using that
installation program.
You may also refer to the Borland Web site at the URL below
for further information:
http://www.borland.com/bde
Note that since we allow deployment of BDE files and
subsets using an Borland-certified installation program, we
do not otherwise allow deployment of individual BDE files.

4. SQL LINKS DEPLOYMENT (CLIENT/SERVER APPLICATIONS)

===========================================================
4.1 Deploying SQL Links
-----------------------
A Borland-certified installation program provides all
needed functionality and steps for redistributing SQL
Links, including:
* Selecting files to redistribute
* Determining final directory locations
* Comparing versions of SQL Links files
Follow the instructions of the particular installation
program used for specific steps to create an installation
program the includes SQL Links.

Redistributable Files" above.
4.3 Database Server Client Software
-----------------------------------
In addition to SQL Links files, client/server applications
require client files for interface to communication proto-
cols (such as TCP/IP). These client software files are part
of the database server system, are NOT part of nor bundled
with SQL Links, and are supplied by the SQL database system
vendor. Client software comes with SQL database server
software, so if you have the database server software you
will most likely also have the client software. Refer to
your database administrator (DBA) or server documentation
for specific information on installing client software.
5. BDE ADMINISTRATOR
===========================================================
When the Borland Database Engine (BDE) is installed with a
deployed BDE-using application, the configuration utility
BDE Administrator is also installed. Its use with deployed
applications is authorized.
