Entering database details without the administration utility |
Wed, Apr 15 2009 2:48 AM | Permanent Link |
Anf | Normally when setting up databases and users you use the database server administration utility to add/edit these details. Is there a way to have these details entered through an automated approach? Basically I have an installation wizard for client computers that can install/setup all the software except for the database details for db server, is there a registry key or file that this is contained within that i could customised and push through the installation wizard process? Hope that makes some sort of sense, thanks in advance... |

Yes, there is a way. Just connect to the server using Administration port (12006) and use the session available methods to handle what you desire. For example RemoteSession.AddRemoteDatabase(<name>,<description>,<path>) or RemoteSession.ModifyRemoteDatabase(<name>,<description>,<path>) Check the help to see all the methods available. Using it in this way you can set whatever you want without any user interference. Eduardo |

Anf | right so i would have to write another app that gets fired after the installation to
configure the databases, users, etc... does anyone know where all of the details for the databases and users on a local PC get stored? |

You'll need to do the modifications in code, but you can find a reference to the configuration calls here: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=mantopic&id=dbisam4&product=d&version=7&category=1&topic=7 You can configure the server remotely via a TDBISAMSession, or locally from within the server itself using the TDBISAMEngine component. The advantage of putting the configuration code in the dbsrvr.dpr project that we provide (in the FormCreate for the main form or somewhere similar) is that the server then becomes self-configuring and only needs to be copied into the desired location and then started up. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
