ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Configuring a SQLBase Data Source ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Data Source Name:
A string that identifies this SQLBase data source configuration in
ODBC.INI. Examples include "Accounting" or "SQLBase-Serv1."
Description:
An optional long description of a data source name. For example, "My
Accounting Database" or "SQLBase on Server number 1."
Database Name:
The name of the database to which you want to connect by default.
The following values are optional:
Server Name:
The name of the server that contains the desired database. Specify
the word LOCAL if you are using the local server.
The server name is not required to log on. The logon dialog box
appears more quickly if you do not specify a server name. If you do
specify a server name, the Database Name drop-down list in the logon
dialog box is populated with the names of the databases available on
that server.
Server List:
A comma-separated list of servers that will appear in the Logon
dialog box. Specify LOCAL to add the local server to the list.
Default User Name:
The default user name used to connect to your SQLBase database. A
user name is required only if security is enabled on your database.
Your ODBC application may override this value or you may override
this value in the logon dialog box or connection string.
Cursor Cache Size:
The number of cursors the cursor cache can hold. The default is 6.
Yield Proc:
This attribute is not available in OS/2. A numeric value that
determines whether you can work in other applications when SQLBase is
busy.
Input Message Size:
The number of bytes in the input message buffer. The default is
determined by SQLBase. Increasing this value retrieves more records
across the network in a single fetch.
Lock Time Out:
The number of seconds SQLBase should wait for a lock to be freed
before raising an error. Values can be -1 (wait forever) to 1800;
the default is 300.
No Recovery:
Select this check box to disable transaction recovery. Selecting this
box is dangerous because your database can become inconsistent in the
event of a system crash.
Release Plan:
A number that determines whether a lock is maintained on a table when
the cursors accessing the table are freed. Freeing the lock on the
table results in a request to the server, which can decrease
performance. No locks are freed when this option is set to the
default, 0. Locks are freed when this option is set to 1.
Translate
Displays the Select Translator dialog box to allow you to perform a
translation of your data from one character set to another. Choose the
INTERSOLV OEM ANSI translator to translate your data from the IBM PC character
set to the ANSI character set
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Logon to SQLBase ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Server Name:
Optionally, type the name of the server containing the SQLBase
database tables you want to access or select the name from the Server
Name drop-down list, which displays the server names you specified in
the Setup dialog box. Type the word LOCAL to access a local SQLBase
database system.
Database Name:
Type the name of the database you wish to access or select the name
from the the Database Name drop-down list.
User Name:
If required, type your user name.
