My company is writing a good size application for
one of our clients (original app is 18 years old,
written by me in basic).

We expect the database to be about 4-8 GB in two
years, 10-20 users. Server will be Dell 2300 P500
with 384Mb and RAID5 (3-9GB, 10,00RPM). 100mb
network cards with P400, 128MB RAM workstations.

Front end is being written in VB6 at this moment.

1. We have decided to use Pervasive SQL.

1.5 What do I need to get started (ie, SDK,
workstation version, etc)? want to develop on
notebook & standalone and then implement on
network.

2. Any suggestions on a good book on
Pervasive/btrieve?

3. Will implement on Netware 5 server.

4. Will ODBC be slow vs ADO?

Yes, I'd recommend you start out with the SDK. You can then implement
the ActiveX controls to make the Btrieve calls and not go through the
ODBC at all. The SDK includes the workstation engine for
development on a stand-alone system. Pervasive.SQL is certified to
work with Netware 5.

Aside from the manuals, I'd recommend Btrieve Complete by Jim Kyle.
It should be available at any bookstore or can be purchased directly
from Jim Kyle's web site at http://www.jimkyle.com
