DB-Library Options

The Client Network Utility includes file information on the DB-Library installed on your computer, and options for setting DB-Library preferences. Options include:

• DB-Library information

  Includes the file name, version, date, and size of the currently installed DB-Library. This type of information is useful if you have a technical support issue with DB-Library.

• Automatic ANSI to OEM conversion

  Enables DB-Library to convert characters from OEM to ANSI when communicating with an instance of Microsoft® SQL Server™, and from ANSI to OEM when communicating with the client from an instance of SQL Server. By default, the Automatic ANSI to OEM conversion option is selected for clients running Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000, Windows 95, or Windows 98. For more information, see Using the DB-Library Automatic ANSI to OEM Conversion Option.

• Use international settings

  Enables DB-Library to get date, time, and currency formats from the system rather than using hard-coded parameters or parameters specified in Sqlcommn.loc. By default, the Use international settings option is selected for clients running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows 95, or Windows 98.
