required system
Below you will find the necessary files to install SQLBase Server on a Win32 platform (Windows95 / 98 or Windows NT).
| The name of the file | Description |
| Dbnt1sv.exe or Dbnt? Sv.exe | SQLBase Engine for Win32 (Window95, 98, NT) where ‘?’ is a server user license. |
| start.dbs | Database of templates. A new database needs to be created. |
| Sql.ini | Server configuration file |
| message.sql | Message constants and description |
| error.sql | Error number and description |
| country.sql | Country settings for foreign languages (not English by default) |
| Communication DLL |
See Sql.ini for a description of the required DLL. Most used 32-bit libraries:
|
It is recommended to place all files in one directory. Then you need to have a server configuration, i.e. set the server name, country (if you don’t use the default setting), communication protocol and other necessary settings.
The most important Sql.ini sections of a single-user SQLBase Win32 database server are shown below.
(dbnt1sv)
servername=SRV1, sqlws32
cache = 2000
sortbuffer = 2000
, database path
dbdir=C:Centura
dbname = TEST , sqlws32
(dbnt1sv.dll)
comdll=sqlws32
These lines contain the following information. The SRV1 server is configured for TCP/IP and has database files in the C:\Centura directory. The TEST database is now installed on the server.
For more information on configuring the server and Sql.ini keywords, see Centura SQLBase Books (SQLBase Database Administrator’s Guide).
