The biggest reason for different db servers not liking each other, is if
they try to use the same TCP/IP port, if your in a Unix or Windows
environment, check the services file, on Unix it will be in the /etc
and on Windows it will be in the \windows folder. Fighting for the
same port, might cause one or both programs to GPF, especially if it
gets data formatted for the other program.

If they use different ports, then there is the possibility that there
is a bug in PervasiveSQL, unless they have done a lot of debugging
since PSQL 2000 came out, then this bug has more then a few friends.

Now my Linux server has MySQL on it, but the client machine doesn't
have a client, so I can't fully test whether they agree with each
other or not.
