Does anyone know if it's possible to connect to a
different database from access and sql server

I work with perversive db and dont know how to connect to
it. there are only access and sql server adapters
available.

if it so could anyone tell me how to do it?

It depends on whether you are using the Pervasive OLEDB or ODBC driver. You can use the native .NET
OLEDB library with the Pervasive OLEDB driver, or the native ODBC.NET library with the Pervasive
ODBC driver. I believe that Pervasive recommends using the OLEDB V8 driver

If you are using version 1.0 (VS 2002) of the framework you will need to download the ODBC.NET
library (it's included with version 1.1 of the framework).
