Pervasive

My client is currently using PSQL v9 and anticipates ordering a shipment of Windows 7 PCs soon. It's my understanding from looking at the Pervasive website that the v9 Client will NOT run on Windows 7. (a) is that even true? and (b) will the v10 Client run against a v9 database? (There are some issues with moving the application that uses the database to v10 right now.)

 From my understanding, the PSQL v9 client has not been tested and is not supported on Windows 7. 

Will it work?  Maybe.  You might want to look at the Vista whitepaper since Windows 7 is similar to Vista.

Can you use the v10 client with a v9 server?  Again, it's not tested.  It might work from a Btrieve perspective but I would expect problems with the ODBC / SQL side.  

What issues are there with moving the application to v10?  Upgrading to v10 gets you full Windows 7 support and support in general.

What issue are you having? 

After doing some searching, I found this: http://ww1.pervasive.com/support/PSQL_Requester_Server_Compatibility_Matrix.pdf.

It says that the v10 client is NOT compatible with the v9 server.  The V9 client is compatible, in some cases, with v10, but not the other way around.

If you want Windows 7 support, you need to upgrade to v10.
