Hi,

Had a query from a prospect whether DBISAM Server can be installed on a
Linux server.  Is this possible?

Regards

Alex

Yes, so long as you only need ANSI collation order.

And as long as it's a x86-32 bit Linux.

Hi Eryk

This is possible with Version 3 and 4, or just 4?  Also is there anything
else to do other than installing a DBISAM server on a Linux box.  Does my
application have to be modified at all?  Sorry for the naivety, maybe there
is somewhere I can read up more about this?

Thanks too for your response Ralf

Al,

It was possible with V3.x also but, since it is a different product and
V3.x is no longer sold, you'd have to ask Tim about whether V3.x for
Kylix is still shipping.

Nothing of much significance. See the following link:

No - other than potential locale issues, as I mentioned before.

Alex,

Just version 4.

You'll need to make sure that the DBISAM server runs okay on the
version/brand of Linux being used, but other than that, no.

<< Does my application have to be modified at all? >>

If the client application is still running under Windows, then no.

The only cross-platform things to consider are documented here:
