Parameter
Description
Database Type (-dt ORACLE)
Specifies that the non-Progress type of the target database is ORACLE.
DataServer (-Dsrv)
Specifies parameters that allow you to control how the DataServer processes queries. -Dsrv is a connection parameter. See the "Query Tuning with Connection and Startup Parameters" section for more information.
Logical Database Name (-ld)
Specifies the logical name for the ORACLE database. This is the name by which you refer to the database in your applications.
Index Cursors (-c)
Specifies the maximum number of ORACLE cursors per user that Progress opens. This parameter is valid only for connecting to ORACLE databases. It has no effect when connecting to the schema holder. See the "Index Cursors" section for more information.
Schema Cache File (-cache)
Specifies the name of a binary file that contains the schema for a database. Reading schema from this file is more efficient than reading from a remote schema holder. See the "Local Schema Caching" section for more information.
