- Cursor Support Catalogue Store Procedures Installation
- Date: 8/24/92
- ======================================================
-
-
-
- Overview
- --------
- SQL Servers version 4.2 on all platforms, except the OS/2 SQL Server 4.2
- and the Novell SQL Server 4.2, lack the sets of catalogue store procedures
- and tables that support cursor in DB-Library 4.2.
-
- SQL Servers version 4.8 and above in all platforms also lack the sets
- of catalogue store procedures and tables that support cursor in DB-Library
- 4.2.
-
- This README.CSR file describes how to install the necessary cursor support
- catalogue store procedures and tables to the SQL Server from a PC client
- machine and thus enable the cursor capability in DB-Library 4.2.
-
- The cursor support catalogue store procedures and tables are installed
- by running two SQL script files, INST42.SQL and INST48.SQL.
-
- The INST42.SQL script file is for all the 4.2 SQL Server on different
- platforms. The INST48.SQL script file is for all the 4.8 and above
- SQL Servers. Please use the correct SQL script file when installing it
- to your SQL Server.
-
- Note: The OS/2 SQL Server 4.2 and the Novell SQL Server 4.2 do not need to
- go through this procedure since the cursor support catalogue store
- procedures and tables have been added to the system catalogue when
- these SQL Servers are installed on your machine.
-
-
-
- Requirement
- -----------
- This installation assumes that you have already installed the
- corresponding DB-Library 4.2 and Net-Library for DOS, Windows 3.x,
- or OS/2 on the PC client machine. In other words, you can connect to
- your SQL Server from the PC client machine through ISQL in DOS and OS/2,
- or WDBPING in Windows without problem.
-
-
-
- Installation from a DOS or OS/2 PC client machine
- -------------------------------------------------
- 1. Go to the sub-directory INSTALL under your SQL directory.
-
- c:
- cd c:\sql\install
-
- If your SQL directory is on a different drive or different
- directory, substitute them here accordingly.
-
- 2. Install to a SQL Server 4.2 by typing:
-
- isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name < INST42.SQL
-
- or install to a SQL Server 4.8 or above by typing:
-
- isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name < INST48.SQL
-
- where 'sa' is the system administor user name in the SQL Server,
- 'password' is the sa's password to the SQL Server, and the
- 'server_name' is the name of the SQL Server you want to install
- the cursor support catalogue store procedures.
-
-
- Note: If for any reason the installation process is halted, you can
- restart the installation process again without any problem.
- The SQL script will detect the previously installed cursor
- store procedures and remove them.
-
-
-
-
- Installation from a Windows 3.x PC client machine
- -------------------------------------------------
- Note: The installation assume you have Windows 3.x running and you can
- WDBPING from your Windows PC client to your SQL Server.
-
- 1. Go to the sub-directory INSTALL under your SQL directory.
-
- c:
- cd c:\sql\install
-
- If your SQL directory is on a different drive or different
- directory, substitute them here accordingly.
-
- 2. Start the Windows installation program by typing
-
- win scip.exe
-
- 3. Inside the SCIP program, pick the correct script to install by clicking
- the server 4.2 or 4.8 radio button.
-
- 4. You can mark the optional Message Checkbox to see the messages coming
- back from the server. The default is to turn it off.
-
- 5. Click on the Install button to start the installation process.
-
-
- Note: If for any reason the installation process is halted, you can
- restart the installation process again without any problem.
- The SQL script will detect the previously installed cursor
- store procedures and remove them.
-
-
-
-
- Problem
- -------
- - If you encounter the problem that the 'master' database is out of
- space, use ALTER DATABASE to enlarge the 'master' database's data space
- and start the installation process again.
-
- - If you add the Windows cursor script installation program SCIP.EXE
- as an item to one of your Windows desktop group, please specify the
- working directory to the directory containing SCIP.EXE, INST42.SQL,
- and INST48.SQL.
-
- - The cursor functions will not work on the SQL Server 4.2 on a Sun 3
- machine. Sun 3 is a platform that Sybase no longer support. The
- cursor functions will work on Sun 4 and later machine.
