Borland BDE fails opening UNC pipe to MSSQL
Niccolo
BDE to talk to a MSSQL server, but database communication does not
work.
Enable debugging i see this error message:
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"SRVCAF1\\pipe\\sql\\query" not
found in ...dosdevices/unc
warn:ntdll:NtCreateFile L"\\??\\UNC\\SRVCAF1\\pipe\\sql\\query" not
found (c000003a)
warn:file:CreateFileW Unable to create file L"\\\\SRVCAF1\\pipe\\sql\
\query" (status c000003a)
Is this UNC pipe supposed to work on Wine?
I did not find any pointer about this, if I can understand the matter
I can write some

Probably not yet. See if you can communicate over TCP instead.
I've posted a question about remote named pipes on wine-devel.

So far it seems like Wine only supports local pipes. I've talked to a
couple of people about implementing remote pipes, and there seems to
be a consensus that in order to do this in a clean way, we need kernel
level support for this. I'll see what I can do about this, but unless
the answer from the kernel people is a clear "no", it probably will
take a while to be implemented and get into the mainstream distros. If
the answer is a clear "no", we need to think up some better way to do
this in Wine, so I can't even guess how long that would take.
Sorry I can't give you a more positive reply. I guess for now you
should see if TCP is an option for you, as Dan suggested.
Cheers,
