PBODB125 initialization file

Contents

PBODB125.INI is installed in the Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder directory. The first time the user opens PowerBuilder, the file is copied to Local Settings\Application Data\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5 in the user’s profile folder (for example, under C:\Documents and Settings\username). This copy is used when running PowerBuilder.PowerBuilder uses PBODB125.INI to maintain access to extended functionality in the back-end DBMS, for which ODBC does not provide an API call. Examples of extended functionality are SQL syntax or DBMS-specific function calls.

Editing

In most cases, you do not need to edit PBODB125.INI. In certain situations, however, you might need to add functions to PBODB125.INI for your back-end DBMS. Be sure to edit the copy in your user profile folder, not the original copy.

For instructions, see Appendix A, “Adding Functions to the PBODB125 Initialization File.”
