DB-Library Options

The SQL Server 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 a server running Microsoft® SQL Server™ and from ANSI to OEM when communicating with the client from a server running SQL Server. For clients running Microsoft Windows NT® or Microsoft Windows® 95/98, the Automatic ANSI to OEM conversion option is selected by default.

• 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. For clients running Windows NT or Windows 95/98, the Use international settings option is selected by default.
