List of Available Databases

When the SELECT DATABASE screen appears, the first database in the list of available databases is highlighted, accompanied by the names of database servers. The list is organized alphabetically by database server and then by database for each database server. You can display a maximum of 512 database names on the SELECT DATABASE screen.

The list of available databases that is displayed depends on the settings of certain environment variables. For example:

• DB–Access displays the names of all databases on the current database server and in your DBPATH setting.
• If you use multiple database servers, the ONCONFIG environment variable determines the current database server.

The list of available databases displayed also depends on the current connection. For example:

• If no current connection exists or the current connection is an implicit default connection, all databases in the DBPATH appear.
• If a current explicit connection exists, all databases in the DBPATH setting that pertain to the current database server appear.
