Starting Database Servers
You can start a database server in two ways:
When a Progress client invokes PROSERVE, PROSERVE starts a database server on behalf of the client. For a 4GL client, PROSERVE starts a 4GL database server. For an SQL-92 client, PROSERVE starts an SQL-92 database server.
If a client invokes PROSERVE with startup parameters, such as -cpinternal, -cpstream, and -cpcoll, PROSERVE passes these values to the 4GL or SQL-92 database server. The 4GL database server uses these values. The SQL-92 database server, however, ignores some of these values. Specifically, the SQL-92 database server ignores values for -cpinternal and -cpcoll passed from PROSERVE, using instead the internal code page and collation table of the database. However, the SQL-92 database server does use the values for -cpstream and for the other code-page-related startup parameters (other than -cpinternal and -cpcoll) passed from PROSERVE.
When you start a database server using Progress Explorer, you can specify a code page and a collation by using the Explorer’s administrative features.
Table 7–1 lists localizable startup parameters and settings related to SQL-92 and 4GL database servers.
Progress Explorer also lets you set the log file’s font. This allows you to choose a font that displays international characters correctly. To set the log file’s font, follow these steps:
- From Progress Explorer, view a log file.
- From the Action menu or popup, select “Font...”. Alternatively, on the toolbar, click on the Font icon.
The standard Windows font selection dialog box appears.
- In the Font Selection dialog box, choose a font, then click OK.
Progress Explorer displays the log file using the font you selected.
