How To Connect To a Valentina Database |
|
example:revdb_connect(databaseType,[host],databaseName,[userName],[password] \ [,valentinaCacheSize,valentinaMacSerial,valentinaWindowsSerial])
The databaseType is one of "MySQL","Oracle", "ODBC", or "Valentina".get revdb_connect("Valentina","","::Project:MyVal.vdb",,,, \ the serialNumber of this card,"")
host
is the IP address or name of the system hosting the database. For
Valentina databases, which reside on the local system, the host
should be
empty. If no host
is specified, the local system is used.databaseName
is the name of the database to connect to. For Valentina
databases, this is the path to the file that contains the database.databaseName
must be a Mac-style file path. (To convert from a
Revolution file path to the Mac style, use the revMacFromUnixPath
function.) When connecting to a Valentina database on a Windows system, the
databaseName
must be a Windows-style file path.userName
is your authorized user name for the database. (Some databases
do not require a user name.)password
is the authentication password for userName. (Some databases
do not require a password.)valentinaCacheSize
is the size in bytes of the database cache used for
Valentina databases. The minimum cache size is 524288 (512K). If the
valentinaCacheSize
is not specified, the database cache is 3 megabytes. If
the databaseType
is not "Valentina", the valentinaCacheSize
has no effect.valentinaMacSerial
or valentinaWindowsSerial
is the serial number that
unlocks the Valentina VXCMD. (On Mac OS and OS X systems, specify a
valentinaMacSerial
and leave the valentinaWindowsSerial
parameter empty. On
Windows systems, specify a valentinaWindowsSerial
and leave the
valentinaMacSerial
empty.) If no valentinaMacSerial
or
valentinaWindowsSerial
is specified, the connection closes automatically
after ten minutes.
