Chapter 4 Database Administration Utilities
153
Change the database file to which an existing write file points (–d)
If a database file is moved to another directory, or renamed, this option
allows you to maintain the link between the write file and the database file.
This option is available only from the command-line utility.
Force a write file to point to a file (–f) This option is available only
from the command-line utility. This option is for use when a write file is
being created and the database file is held on a Novell NetWare or other
network path, for operating systems on which they cannot be entered
directly. By providing the full Novell path name for the database file (for
example:
SYS:\asademo.db
), you can avoid dependencies on local mappings
of the NetWare path. Unlike with the
–d option, no checking is done on the
specified path.
Set mirror name (–m) Set the name of the transaction log mirror file.
This can only be used in conjunction with
-c.
Log output messages to file (–o) Write output messages to the named
file.
Operate quietly (–q) Do not display output messages. This option is
available only from the command-line utility.
Report the write file status only (–s) This displays the name of the
database to which the write file points. This option is available only from the
command-line utility.
Set the transaction log filename (–t) If you are creating a new write file
(
-c), you can use this switch to set the name of the transaction log file.
Operate without confirming actions (–y) Choosing this option replaces
the existing write file without prompting you for confirmation.
