Exhibit 99.2

To our Pervasive customers and partners,

As you may already know, in August 2012, Actian Corporation publicly issued a letter proposing to acquire Pervasive Software. These sorts of developments can and do occur in the life of a public company, and our board hired an independent financial advisor to assist in evaluating strategic alternatives.

As a result of that process, Pervasive has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Actian (subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of various closing conditions by both parties). The Pervasive management team supports the transaction, which we anticipate closing in spring this year.

In our 30-year history, Pervasive has had varied ownership structures, united by one constant: our deep commitment to our valued multi-year, multi-faceted relationships with our business partners. The company today consists of several product teams, some the result of our own acquisitions, and a strong, common culture of relationship integrity, technical excellence, and a mutually beneficial business mentality which spans all those teams. We take the time to learn your business goals and apply our technology in ways that enable you to get the most value from your data and deliver the maximum business impact for your organization. We invest aggressively (25% of revenues) in R&D to ensure that we deliver solutions that meet those needs, now and in the future. In our long history, our focus on delivering high-quality products for innovative customers worldwide has not wavered.

It’s our innovative culture, loyal partnership focus and strong customer orientation that attracted Actian and that make the vision of long-term and growing value a reality. My focus, and that of Pervasive employees, remains firmly on our most valuable assets: the relationships with our customers and partners. I personally want to emphasize that unwavering commitment, and I invite you to contact me directly if you have any specific questions.

If any of you would like to hear more about Actian during the pendency of this transaction, Steve Shine, the Actian CEO, has offered to coordinate calls along with your Pervasive executive sponsor. Please let us know if you would like to do this and we can make the appropriate arrangements.

Thank you for your business, and we look forward to a continuing mutually prosperous relationship for many years to come.

John Farr

President and CEO
