Starting Results with Multiple Databases

This section describes how to start Results from your operating system using more than one Progress Atlas database in single-user and multi-user modes. For more information about the issues involved with using multiple databases, see the Progress Programming Handbook.

There are two things you should know about multiple databases:

To start Results from your operating system, type the appropriate command at your operating system prompt, where dbname1 and dbname2 are the names of your Progress Atlas databases.

The following command starts Results in single-user mode:

results dbname1 -db dbname2 -1 

The following command starts Results in multi-user mode:

mresults dbname1 -db dbname2  

For example, if you are starting Results to run the tutorials in "Multiple Databases with Results," substitute sports1 and sports2 for dbname1 and dbname2, respectively.

You specify the first database in your command just as you do for a single database, but you need to include the Progress Physical Database Name (-db) connection parameter before all subsequent databases. By default, the first database starts in single-user mode and all subsequent databases start in multi-user mode. To start them in single-user mode, include the Single User (-1) connection parameter after the database name.

If you have not performed an initial build on the first database you specify, the system displays a message that there is no .qc file for that database. In that case, you need to perform an initial build. For information about the initial build process, see the "Description of the Initial Build" section in Database Administration."
