Why Embed Pervasive PSQL?Embedded installations offer ISVs greater control of the complete installation process and provide greater simplicity to end-users, especially those with little or no IT staff. This type of installation also allows end-users, VARs, and consultants without specific database or Pervasive PSQL knowledge to more easily complete a full successful application installation. The Pervasive PSQL Installation Toolkit is designed to make the task of creating your application's installation development faster and easier with less coding. By implementing the Toolkit, an ISV can seamlessly include Pervasive PSQL in the product's installation without having to learn the individual configuration steps required for the software to function correctly . Embedding the database engine in the application provides ISVs the control of which version of the database their customers use, resulting in manageable configurations, lowered support costs, and increased customer satisfaction. In addition, ISVs offering embedded installations of the Pervasive DBMS can ensure customers that the correct version or platform will be delivered. The ISV now has control of when, where, and what DBMS products are shipped to the customer. Furthermore, ISVs can assure customers that their installations will never go incomplete for lack of availability of product or incompatible versions or platforms. Availability of product, fulfillment of the DBMS, and deployment licensing are all in the hands of the ISV. Finally, by embedding the database installations into the application, ISVs ensure that customers only have to deal with one source for everything they need to run their application.
