Methods to delete records?

Posted by LegacyUser on 18-Jan-2003 17:29

I need to delete some records from a series of tables in a Progress 8.3B database.

I have tried SQL statments - but it will not let me delte records. Select

works, delete won't.

"You may not compile programs that delete data in this version"

I have "Workgorup Database and Query/Results.

Any way to use ODBC with this version?

you need "provision" version,not "client networking" version.

or you can use this:

"ODBC 3.60 PROGRESS driver for Windows 9x-NT",

install it and you will get

"merant 3.60 32-bit progress" ODBC driver.

So how does one go about getting this driver?

Is that all I would need to talk to a Progress DB on a Linux box from a PC?
