PBODB180 initialization file
Contents
PBODB180.INI is installed in the AppeonSharedPowerBuilder or
AppeonSharedPowerBuilderx64 directory. The first time the user
opens PowerBuilder, the file is copied to the initialization path
(specified in the PowerBuilder IDE: Tools | System Options dialog box)
which is by default AppDataLocalAppeonPowerBuilder 18.0 in the
user’s profile folder (for example, under C:users<username>).
This copy is used when running PowerBuilder. PowerBuilder uses
PBODB180.INI to maintain access to extended functionality in the
back-end DBMS, for which ODBC does not provide an API call. Examples
of extended functionality are SQL syntax or DBMS-specific function
calls.
Editing
In most cases, you do not need to edit PBODB180.INI. In certain
situations, however, you might need to add functions to
PBODB180.INI for your back-end DBMS. Be sure to edit the copy in your
user profile folder, not the original copy.
