I am new to this. This is my first post. I did search for an answer but found none.
I attended BIRT Roadshows. Now I want to get started.

I use a database called Pervasive. It used to be called Btrieve.
I have lots of data.

Btrieve uses DDF files. These are Data Definition Files.
We use DDFs to set up ODBC data sources.
I have it working in this way with Microsoft Access.

When I tried to set up a new Data Source in the BIRT Designer, it offered JDBC,but not ODBC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

BIRT uses JDBC. I am not sure it is the best but you could try the jdbc-odbc bridge. Put in the following for the driver:

sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Then use jdbc:odbc:yourodbcdb
for the database url. Change the yourodbcdb to the one you need.
