Actian Zen Client 16.0

Actian Zen Client by Actian Corporation is a lightweight connectivity package that installs the client-side components needed for applications to access Actian Zen (formerly Pervasive PSQL) databases over a network. It provides the runtime libraries and data access drivers that let desktop and embedded applications connect to Zen Workgroup and Enterprise Server engines without installing a full database server locally. Designed for reliability and easy deployment, it enables smooth communication with existing Zen data sources used by line‑of‑business and OEM/ISV solutions.

Key features

• Standard interfaces: Supports common data access methods (e.g., ODBC and .NET) and maintains compatibility with legacy Btrieve‑based applications.
• Network routing: Transparently connects applications to local or remote Actian Zen engines.
• Easy deployment: Small footprint, available in 32‑bit and 64‑bit packages, and suitable for scripted or silent installs.
• Backward compatibility: Works with multiple Zen/PSQL versions to simplify upgrades and mixed environments.
• Centralized configuration: Tools to define data sources and tune client behavior for your environment.

Note: Actian Zen Client provides connectivity only. It does not include the database server engine or licenses for hosting databases.
