This file describes the procedures for setting up the database for
the Tour for the Visual Cafe Database Development Edition.
Contents:
I. Installing the database.
II. Setting up the data source.
The Visual Cafe Tour uses a Sybase SQL Anywhere database called
tutorial.db. When you install Visual Cafe, the tutorial.db file is
placed in the \Tour subdirectory of your Visual Cafe installation.
To use this database, you must install the SQL Anywhere engine and
set up a data source.
=====================================================================
I. Installing the database.
To install the database engine:
1. Insert the Visual Cafe CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Normally, this will start the install program.
2. If step 1 didnÆt start the install program, run Setup.exe.
3. Click on Sybase SQL Anywhere to launch the installer.
**When installing Sybase SQL Anywhere, it is advisable to use
the default settings offered by the installer and let the
installer update the registry for you.
4. Reboot the computer.
=====================================================================
II. Setting up the data source.
To set up a data source for the Tour database:
1. Place the tutorial.db file in a directory that is accessible
by dbANYWHERE. For example, you could leave it in the \Tour
directory or move it to the SQL Anywhere directory.
2. Launch the ODBC Administrator utility from the Windows Control
Panel.
3. Click Add to display the Add Data Source dialog box.
4. Select the [Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.0] driver and click OK.
This displays the ODBC Configuration dialog box.
5. Click Browse to navigate to the tutorial.db file, select
tutorial.db, and click Open.
The Data Source Name and Database Name fields are automatically
populated with the name of the database file (Tutorial).
6. Type these values in the following fields:
User ID: dba
Password: sql
7. Click OK to add the data source to your ODBC configuration.
8. Click Close to dismiss the Data Sources utility.
=====================================================================
After you have performed the procedures outlined above, launch
Visual Cafe and dbANYWHERE. You're ready to take the Tour.
