Hello

I want to run the server as a service.
I have run the command using the edbsrvr.exe file or the edbcmd.exe file?

Thanks
Sorin

Sorin,

You will install EDB as a service by using the edbsrvr.exe file. There
are several parameters to include in order to install/run it as a
service.

Install the ElevateDB Server as a Windows service: edbsrvr.exe /install
Uninstall the ElevateDB Server as a Windows service: edbsrvr.exe
/uninstall
No interactaction with the desktop: edbsrvr.exe /install /nointeract
Suppress the "Service Installed" dialog box: edbsrvr.exe /install
/silent

Thanks Jan

On the support I found:
"
ElevateDB comes with a GUI ElevateDB Server called edbsrvr.exe and a
command-line ElevateDB Server called edbcmd.exe. The edbsrvr GUI ElevateDB
Server can be run as a normal application in Windows or as a Windows
service. If running the ElevateDB Server as a normal application there is
nothing else to do besides start up the ElevateDB Server from the directory
in which ElevateDB was installed. You can find the GUI ElevateDB Server in
the \servers\edbsrvr sub-directory under the main installation directory,
and the command-line ElevateDB Server in the \servers\edbcmd sub-directory
under the main installation directory.
"

So what is edbcmd.exe file for?

It's a command-line version of the ElevateDB Server.

I have never really found a use for it personally (it's not like there
is a 32-bit DOS around) and running the gui version in windows is as
simple in IMHO.

In theory if you wanted to create your own custom server with minimal
functionality you could use the source code as starting point but again
the gui server is likely a better choice for that.

The only (theoretical) option i can think of is using the command-live
version as base and adding some basic sql support so you can just type
the commands in at runtime into server console but it's of dubious
value.

Sorin,

It's patiently waiting for Linux compiler support.
