The Future Lab database engine (Bbuuzzb) contains the following configuration modules:
The database configuration values are read from the ASCII file DBENG_CONFIG_FILE defined in the header file dbengcfg.h. Each configuration value must appear on a separate line starting with the configuration keyword followed by at least one space and then the specific value. The configuration option keywords are not case sensitive and may be given in lower, upper or mixed case.
When specifying a directory path, do not use relative pathing, absolute paths must be given.
If a configuration option is not given in the configuration file, the default value for that option listed in the header file dbengcfg.h (based on the specific platform) will be loaded.
This configuration option directs the database engine to create temporary files in a specific directory. The temporary path must resolve to a directory. This option is used either in stand-alone mode or in client/server mode by the database server only.
This option consists of the local database engine log file name. All engine messages will be sent to this log file. Note that this option is ignored for client/server implementations as the database engine messages are always sent to the system log server.
This option must contain the path and file name of the engine session table. A fatal error will occur if the session table cannot be opened or created. The session table is used only in client/server mode.
This option must contain the path and file name of the engine catalog. A fatal error will occur if the catalog cannot be opened. The catalog must already exist and will not be created by the engine. The catalog is used only in client/server mode.
