Running Progress Applications
Before running Progress applications, enter this command:
CAUTION: Never run Progress products from the directories in which you installed them. Doing so could result in changes to the software that affect its proper operation.
Start a Progress session, and then connect to a database. Choose one of the following:
- To connect to a Progress database from an SQL-92 client application, use SQL Explorer, the JDBC interface, or an application program with embedded SQL-92 statements. SQL Explorer is a Java-based application that allows you to connect to a Progress database through the JDBC interface.
For more information, see the Progress JDBC Driver Guide .
For complete descriptions of the CONNECT, SET CONNECTION, and DISCONNECT SQL-92 statements, see the “SQL-92 Statements” section in the Progress SQL-92 Guide and Reference .
For information on how to use SQL-92 connection management statements in a C Language application program, see the “Connection Management in ESQL-92” section in the Progress Embedded SQL-92 Guide and Reference .
- To connect to a 4GL database, use the pro, bpro, or mbpro command; or use the CONNECT statement. If you are connecting from a Windows client, you can use the Client icon or the PROWIN32 executable. For more details about the commands or the CONNECT statement, see the Progress Language Reference or the Progress Programming Handbook . For information about the Client icon, see the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows .
