1 On Linux and OS X, the system encoding is usually UTF-8, which allows SQL text to contain wide character data. SQL text using UTF‑8 is compatible with the existing Pervasive ODBC Client Interface driver, so an ODBC Unicode driver on Linux or OS X is not required.
2 New or revised 32-bit applications, local or remote, should connect to a named database or use a Client DSN instead of using Engine DSNs. Alternately, applications could use DSN-less connections by specifying “Pervasive ODBC Client Interface.” Avoiding the use of Engine DSNs positions your application for the future when Engine DSNs will no longer be supported in PSQL.
