Thread: Database Problem

  1. #1

    Hey ya'll,
    I got a bit of problem. I've just joined a company and have been given a problem that they have been tryin to solve.

    This company has made about 15 programs that connect to the same database, all source code has been lost and so has the database. They have remade the database but do not know what to call it and do not want to remake all the programs.

    Does any of you know how to find out the name of the database that the prog is tryin to connect to just by lookin at the executable.

    Thanx in advance.

    P.S This is extremely important, I would appreciate any help.

    time to find a decompiler i guess

    maybe someone with a network sniffer can figure out where the app is trying to connect to.
