| File | Description |
|---|---|
| dblgen7.dll |
Contains English language strings used by the Adaptive Server Anywhere engine and tools. This file contains the auditing string used by dbbackup to audit the use of the -xo switch.
|
| dbtool7.dll | Used by all of the database utilities, as well as dbisqlc.exe. This file contains a fix to dbbackup to audit the truncation of the transaction log. |
| mdac1.bat | This batch file creates a temporary directory and copies fourteen .dll files and one .exe from the C:\winnt\system32 directory into the temporary directory. The Adaptive Server Anywhere installation will replace these files, and they must be copied before Adaptive Server Anywhere installation so they can be restored after. |
| mdac2.bat | This batch file copies the files from the temporary directory created by mdac1.bat into the C:\winnt\system32 directory, overwriting those installed by Adaptive Server Anywhere. One of the files is in use by the operating system, so it is renamed before the file copy. |
| mdac3.bat | This batch file deletes the file that was renamed by mdac2.bat, as well as the temporary directory created by mdac1.bat. |
| readme.txt | This file contains instructions for installing the .dll files included in the patch. |
