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
Inprise development product used. For instance, SQL Links
is included with the Enterprise editions Inprise
programming tools, but not the Professional editions.
Consult the documentation of the particular Inprise 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 Inprise
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* Provides version checking so that a newer version of
the BDE is not overwritten with an earlier one.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 Inprise 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 Inprise programming tools, and
then only for the purpose of use with these applications.
See the file LICENSE.TXT file for the BDE-using Inprise
programming tool used for more information.
2. INPRISE-CERTIFIED INSTALLATION PROGRAMS
===========================================================
Inprise products which include redistribution rights
include an Inprise-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.
Inprise 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, Inprise may, at its discretion, certify
additional installation programs for use as the Inprise
Certified Install Program for this product. To obtain a
current list of Inprise-certified install programs, check
the Inprise Web site at the URL:
http://www.inprise.com/devsupport/delphi/devcorner/certinst.html
Also check the Inprise-sponsored announcement newsgroups:

3. BDE DEPLOYMENT (ALL DATABASE APPLICATIONS)
===========================================================
3.1 Deploying the BDE
---------------------
An Inprise-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, Inprise-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 Inprise 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)
IDPROV32.DLL For MIDAS providers
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 Inprise 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.
