The Btrieve source (SRC = " Btrieve ") enables Btrieve files (versions 6.15 and 7.x) to be read and written. This data source is not supported by the Java version.
Important: The Btrieve database description files (FILE.DDF, FIELD.DDF and INDEX.DDF) must be present and up to date so that the utility can recognize the table structure; in addition, the Btrieve engine must be installed on the machine running the utility.
