SQL Wintalk Installation Instructions
Follow the instructions for installing SQL WINTALK on your home
PC which runs Windows 3.1/95/NT OS
- Create a directory called GUPTA & SQLBASE under C: (SQLBASE *has* to be
under C:)
- Copy the Zip file (Wintalk.zip) you had downloaded from the web onto
C:\GUPTA
- Inflate the zip file on this directory & populate the contents of the
zip file under this directory (this can be done using WINZIP )
- Copy Start.dbs from C:\Gupta onto C:\Sqlbase
- Goto C:\Gupta and double-click the SQL Wintalk icon
- Goto ADMIN header under Wintalk & select 'INSTALL NEW DATABASE'
This should pop up a screen. DO NOT alter anything here. Under the field
name Database, give your database name (this can be any name).
- Now, check the boxes called New & Overwite & click on OK.
- Now, Goto Session & say Connect. If you have followed all the above
steps carefully, you should be getting the database name you installed
moments ago in step 6. Connect to this & start creating tables.
When you get some errors like ODBC.DLL not found or
any-other-file .DLL not found, then, you have to come to the LAB and
copy the missing DLL files from the machines in the lab.
