Suggestions:
When using databases on your local network and you do not have a local DNS (Domain Name Server) you should have SET USE_HOSTS_FIRSTS=Y in the config.sys file and have your HOSTS file in mptnetc updated with the IP number to host names.
The myODBC3 driver and the FreeTDS driver have a very long timeout for DNS lookups and your system will appear to lock up until the DNS lookup times out and the local HOSTS file is checked unless you have USE_HOSTS_FIRST specified
Fixes:
Update 010
- The DBF ODBC driver had several bugs (update 009 shipped a copy of the driver that was half way through being updated :-(
This version will operate with Star Office 5.1 in read only mode and PMODBCDM will correctly display the tables and columns for DBF files.
RexxSQL will also work with the driver.
- RexxSQL fixed SQLDataSources
