The best way, is, well ... Pervasively!

Sorry. I can be kida a jerk like that.

People often do get get hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars worth 
of consultation from these groups, for free, by asking the right 
questions. Or by asking the questions right, which is the same thing but 
different.

Focus. Be absolutely clear. What is it you need to know?

Hi Alex,

You can use ODBC / ADO to access Pervasive DBs. I found this page helpful:

Assuming you mean the Pervasive.SQL DBMS...

...depends what you're trying to do and what you're comfortable with. 
Pervasive can be accessed through various access methods, e.g. low-level 
C (Btrieve) and Java APIs, ODBC/JDBC, .Net, etc.

For quick-and-dirty utilities and queries I tend to use the old Python 
ODBC driver and I've dabbled with Jython+zxJDBC.

For production code I have the luxury of a tried-and-tested C wrapper 
developed in-house as a DLL, so I can use that through c-types.
