Re: Btrieve to Oracle Migration -- Any Interest?

Hi,
we had some applications a long, long time ago with Btrieve/Novell-XSQL/Pervasive (the 80's ?). We ported some of the Data to Oracle. The problem is, your code was written to use Btrieve but Oracle is a whole new ballpark (Records versus Result-Sets). My advice for what it's worth, rewrite it.
