Development Q8: Are DB-Library applications still supported in SQL Server 2000?

Yes. However, DB-Library has not been enhanced for SQL Server 2000. DB-Library ships with the same features that the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 DB-Library contained. This means that a DB-Library application can only connect to a default instance of SQL Server 2000; it cannot connect to a named instance. In addition, it won’t understand any of the new features available in SQL Server 7.0 and later.
