Hello!

I've gon an application that is storing it's data into local DBISAM database.
Unfortunately I dont have the source files anymore, neither do I have Delphi still on
development machine. So I'm trying to connect to it with the ODBC Driver over Java
Application, but it doesn't seems to work, since application is reporting The table or
backup file 'xxx' is not valid. I'm getting this with the latest ODBC Driver. I dont know
which version was used for the application. I also tried some older version I found on my
PC, i think it was 3.30 but it also isn't working(it says wrong version). I also tried
with DATView and it says the .dat files are of version 4.00.
Is there any chance I can access this database with the use of Java ODBC bridge.

best regards

Rok,

Email me one of the tables at support@elevatesoft.com and I will check it
out.   We don't accept unsolicited attachments, however, so you'll have to
email me first without the attachment, and then I'll make sure that your
email address is on our white list and let you know when you can email me
the table.

Rok,

I got the table and the problem is that the signature used to sign the
tables is not the default signature.  I can change the signature in the
tables so that they are accessible, but I would need some proof that you are
accessing data that was created by an application that you created and not
someone else.  We cannot help customers of our customers circumvent things
like custom signatures without their permission.

Thanks!
I will try to find the original programmer of this application if it will be possible
Changing the tables isn't possible since the application still needs the tables in their
current form, and so it wouldn't work anymore.
Thanks for your help

Hey!

Just one more question. Is there any chance to send EngineSignature over ODBC so it can read signed tables, or you need to do it with delphi
components? Thanks again.

best regards,
Rok

You can't use a custom signature with the stock-standard ODBC driver as of
right now without customizations, but I could add this capability to the
ODBC driver.
