Microsoft SQL Server Resource Kit

The Microsoft SQL Server Resource Kit consists of several example programs
and utilities to assist SQL Developers in writing, debugging, and tuning
their applications.

UTILITIES:

   CACHETST

      This program tests for the presence of a write-caching disk
      controller.  It must be built for and run on the SQL Server
      platform.

   CLEANUP

      This program removes "dangling usernames" from the SQL Server
      user database.  It may be built for both DOS and OS/2
      environments. (CLEANUP.EXE is the name of the DOS executable,
      PCLEANUP.EXE is the name of the OS/2 executable)

   DPAGES

      This program corrects DPage inconsistencies which may be present
      in SQL Server 1.X sysindexes.  It must be built for and run on the
      SQL Server platform.

   PERFMTR

      This program displays the performance (load) on an OS/2 machine.
      It is a PM application, and no source code is provided.

   PIPETEST

      This program tests Named Pipes.  The MKPIPE program must be built
      for and run on the SQL Server platform.  The RDPIPE program may
      be built for both DOS and OS/2.

   SQLWINBK

      This program is a simple Microsoft Windows example program using
      background processing (PeekMessage approach) to make DB-LIB calls.
      It may be built for and run on a Microsoft Windows workstation only.

   SQLWINTM

      This program is a simple Microsoft Windows example program using
      background processing (Timer approach) to make DB-LIB calls.  It
      may be build for and run on a Microsoft Windows workstation only.
   
   WINPIPE

      This program tests Names Pipes from Microsoft Windows.  It is
      used with the PIPETEST programs (above).  It may be built for
      and run on a Microsoft Windows workstations only.

   WINQUERY

      This program is a simple Microsoft Windows implementation of

      workstation only.

   You should read the README file in the above directories for additional
   information on each utility.

REQUIREMENTS
   
   Before using the SQL Server Resource Kit, you should insure that all
   of your software components have been installed and are functioning
   correctly.

   To run the executable modules this may include:  SQL Server, Local
   Area Network Operating System, OS/2, DOS, and Microsoft Windows.

   To build the executable modules this may include:  a C compliler capable
   of creating code for your environment including the necessary support
   libraries, and the SQL Server development software.  You should also
   insure that your development environment (PATH, INCLUDE, LIB, etc) have
