SDDBD Commands
IMAGE Command
IMAGE Command
The IMAGE command is used to specify the IMAGE database whose definitions are to be
loaded into the dictionary.
Syntax
IMAGE [;DATABASE= data-base-name ]
[;PASSWORD=[ password ]]
[;OPEN-MODE= open-mode ]
[;BACK-REFERENCE= back-reference-flag ]
[;SENSITIVITY= sensitivity ]
[;COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL= compatibility-option ]
[;OPTION= flow-control-option ]
[;QUIET]
[;VERBOSE]
{.}
Parameters:
data-base-name : Name of the IMAGE database whose definitions are to be loaded. Any
previously opened database is closed and the new database is opened. In
order to open the database, at least one of the three parameters,
DATABASE, PASSWORD, or OPEN-MODE, must be specified.
password: The IMAGE database password which gives access to the database. Any
previously opened database will be closed and the database specified by
the new password will be opened.
If you intend to include any SDDBD separator characters (“ ”, “;”, “=”, “.”)
in the password, you must enclose the password in quotes. If you want to
include a quote in the password, use two consecutive quotes (“”).
The database creator password (“;”) can be specified by entering
“PASSWORD=;”, i.e., the parameter with no value.
If the IMAGE command specified contains the DATABASEparameter, and
not the PASSWORD the password is prompted for. You will be given three
chances to give a correct password. If you fail to do so in session mode, no
IMAGE database will be opened, and the command prompt (>) is
displayed. In batch mode, if you fail to give the correct password, the
program will be immediately terminated. When the password is prompted
for, SDDBD reads the password value from $STDINX regardless of
whether the input has been redirected or not.
open-mode: The IMAGE database open mode. As with the PASSWORD or DATABASE
parameters, any old database is closed and the new database is opened.
The default is 8 (read access). See the IMAGE Database Management
