Management of Sybase SQL and MS SQL/MSDE database servers
D2000 system uses SQL databases that are available via ODBC interface as data storage. By default, the database SQL Adaptive Server Anywhere from the Sybase company and Microsoft SQL Server respectively its freeware version Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) are supported.
In large-scale applications, it is necessary to configure more database servers, because Sybase SQL Standalone Engine, supplied by default, allows only 10 connections to the database server.
The following table displays the number of connections to the database server:
| Process | Connection name | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Server | Configuration | 3 |
| Log database depository | +3 | |
| StartValuesInSeparateDatabase | +1 | |
| Backup (triggered externally) | +1 | |
| Archive | Archive database | 3 |
| Archive depository | +3 | |
| Backup | +1 | |
| DBManager | (configuration dependent) |
The table above shows, that any simple application with enabled both the log database depository and the process Archive can use as many as 15 connections to the database server. Selecting the option Sybase SQL in the process D2000 Enterprise Manager, the window has the looks like this one:
Clicking the right-mouse button on an existing server, you can carry out the following operations:
| New Server | Creates a new db server. |
| Edit | Allows to modify the selected db server. |
| Delete | Deletes the selected db server. |
| Run | Runs the selected db server. |
| Stop | Stops the selected db server. |
Creating a new MSDE database servers (engines) through the process D2000 Application Manager is not supported, because the servers are created by the MSDE installation.
