Note
Btrieve v6.15 Users: If you have any log (.LOG) files you want to roll forward, you must do so before you load the Pervasive.SQL V8 MicroKernel, which uses a different logging scheme. You must use both the v6.15 or earlier engine and its accompanying Roll Forward Utility. Refer to your Btrieve v6.15 or earlier documentation for information about logging and instructions about how to roll files forward.
