Using BIRT with Pervasive or Btrieve

Cardinal24

I am new to this. This is my first post. I <em class='bbc'>did </em>search for an answer but found none.<br />
I attended BIRT Roadshows. Now I want to get started.<br />
<br />
I use a database called Pervasive. It used to be called Btrieve.<br />
I have lots of data.<br />
<br />
Btrieve uses DDF files. These are Data Definition Files.<br />
We use DDFs to set up ODBC data sources.<br />
I have it working in this way with Microsoft Access.<br />
<br />
When I tried to set up a new Data Source in the BIRT Designer, it offered JDBC,but not ODBC.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
Thank you in advance.<br />

BIRT uses JDBC. I am not sure it is the best but you could try the jdbc-odbc bridge. Put in the following for the driver:

sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Then use jdbc:odbc:yourodbcdb
for the database url. Change the yourodbcdb to the one you need.
