Goldstar Software Utilities
DDF Utilities and Maintenance Package (DUMP) Version 1
The DUMP utilities were created by Goldstar Software for our own
use during projects working on Pervasive.SQL Data Dictionary Files (DDF's). Without DDF's, ODBC access would not
be possible, and many popular report writing systems, including Crystal Reports and MSAccess would be useless when
it comes to Btrieve data. See our white
paper on ODBC access for more information on how critical DDF's
can be! DDF's have a long history of being poorly constructed, and these tools can make living and working with
the DDF's much easier.
Please note that items marked below with an asterisk (*) are designed to
work with the Scalable SQL database engine only. As they, they may NOT work properly (or at all) on Pervasive.SQL
2000 databases.
The DUMP compilation sells for $175 for a LAN site license and includes these tools:
- BldIndex: ($50 DOS) Adds index definitions to DDF's based on Btrieve file information.
- ChkIndex: ($10 DOS) Compares index data in DDF's to Btrieve key information. Precursor to Pervasive.SQL 2000's Check Database Wizard.
- ChUsrPwd: ($50 Win32) Changes users' passwords without making you re-create the account.
- ConvRpt: (FREE DOS) *Easily extracts success/failure list from a VCONV report.
- DDFAttr: ($25 DOS) *Extracts headings from DDF's; allows you to set headings en masse.

All of the utilities in this package are provided as-is, without warranty
or technical support. These tools are always being updated and expanded as we find new ways to use the tools or
determine new things we want them to do. We will strive to eliminate bugs in the functionality of any tool as quickly
as possible. We will also accept suggestions via EMail for improving the tools as enhancement requests. When you
purchase and register a toolset, you will be notified via EMail of any updates to the tools in that set, and you
be provided with the updated code when it becomes available. Goldstar Software Inc. may add new tools to a given
tool package at any time, and it is our sole discretion as to whether the new tools will be provided free of charge
or will require an upgrade fee.
If you request help using a given tool, you may be charged for the support
time like any other support issue. Some tools are destructive in nature and no tool should EVER be used without
a proper backup of the files being affected.
