QUESTION "Driver specified by data source name could not be loaded (4149)." received when connecting to database. ANSWER This problem in VisualAge can happen when connecting to an Oracle or SQL Server or Sybase database. During installation, you should have been asked whether or not you wanted to initialize the odbc.ini file when you installed the VisualAge Sql Server or Oracle support. If you did not answer 'yes', type and execute the following in your transcript for Sybase or SQL Server: AbtMultiDbSqlSvrDatabaseManager installIniFile or, for Oracle, AbtMultiDbOracleDatabaseManager installIniFile Other causes of this problem may be that the location of dlls starting with "qe" are not specified in the libpath in the config.sys (or path in the autoexec.bat on Windows). These qe*.dll files are supplied with VisualAge and reside in the -visualag-dll- directory on the client machine (standard VisualAge) or server (VisualAge Team). For Sybase or SQL Server, the required file is qess04.dll and for Oracle, qe704.dll. qelib.dll is also an important dll, required by both databases. Other potential causes of the problem using Oracle, are that the ORA7032.DLL file required by the VisualAge code is not present or its location is not specified in the libpath in the config.sys (or path in the autoexec.bat on Windows). Oracle users must type a 'b:' before the server name on the connect if using SQL*Net for NetBIOS or 't:' for TCPIP. Other potential causes of the problem using Sybase or SQL Server are that the SYBDB.DLL file required by the VisualAge code is not present or its location is not specified in the libpath in the config.sys (or path in the autoexec.bat on Windows). For Sybase or SQL Server versions above 4.6 or for Sybase System 10, the user must install client code from Sybase that supports older versions of Sybase (has the sybdb.dll file, not the newer libsybdb.dll file). Also, users should remember that the server name must be typed in the correct case (lower or upper) that was used during installation. In order to check this, the user may look at the sql.ini file in the SQL Server ini subdirectory. The ini file must be edited with a ini editor. However, you can still see the server name by just typing the sql.ini file.
