Connecting a Schema Holder

In addition to the automatic connection that can take place when you create a schema holder, Progress provides these techniques for connecting a schema holder:

You can use different connection techniques in combination with each other. For example, you can connect the schema holder at startup, then connect to the DataServer using the Progress CONNECT statement. Any combination of connection techniques works, as long as you follow these steps:

  1. Connect the schema holder.
  2. Connect the ORACLE database. If you are using a remote DataServer, you must start a broker on the host machine before you can connect.

When you connect to the schema holder and the ORACLE database in a single startup command or connection statement, be sure to specify parameters that affect the schema holder before the Database Name (-db) parameter. Specify only parameters that affect the ORACLE database connection after the -db parameter.

The following sections explain how to connect both a schema holder and an ORACLE database when you start up Progress.
