DBLIB

Hello!
I have developed a software which uses DBLib to access SQLServer 2000.
I tried if the same software will work with 32 bit version of SQLServer
2005 - there was no problem.
But now I have a customer who has a 64 bit version of SQLServer 2005 and I
urgently need to find solution for using the same software with 64 bit
version of SQLServer 2005.
Do I need a 64 bit ntwdblib.dll?
Has Microsoft implemented a 64 bit version of DBLib?
Thank you!Hi
DBLib is in "Maintenance mode" since SQL Server 7.0. No new functionality is
supplied.
DBLib is not supported on 64 bit, either x64 or IA64.
It is very old technology. Any reason you did not use OLE DB to develop
against?
Regards

Here's what it says in Books Online in the topic "Deprecated Database Engine
Features in SQL Server 2005
"Although the SQL Server 2005 Database Engine still supports connections
from existing applications using the DB-Library and Embedded SQL APIs, it
does not include the files or documentation needed to do programming work on
applications that use these APIs. A future version of the SQL Server
Database Engine will drop support for connections from DB-Library or
Embedded SQL applications. Do not use DB-Library or Embedded SQL to develop
new applications. Remove any dependencies on either DB-Library or Embedded
SQL when modifying existing applications. Instead of these APIs, use the
SQLClient namespace or an API such as OLE DB or ODBC. SQL Server 2005 does
not include the DB-Library DLL required to run these applications. To run
DB-Library or Embedded SQL applications you must have available the
DB-Library DLL from SQL Server version 6.5, SQL Server 7.0, or SQL Server
2000."
