physical-dbname

The database to connect to when a Progress session is started. Specify the physical (not the logical) database name. If you are connecting in single-user mode or through shared memory, and the database is not in your current directory, you must specify the full path of the database.

Use Physical Database Name (-db) to connect one or more Progress databases. Use Single-user Mode (-1) after the name of the database to connect in single-user mode. You do not have to precede the first database on the command line with -db. However, for all subsequent databases that you want to connect, precede the database name with -db. For example, the following command connects two databases, abc and xyz:

pro abc -B 30 -db xyz -B 40
