Option Order

You can specify the options of the CLU commands in any order. Some of the syntax diagrams in this chapter show the options in a specific order because it makes the diagram easier to read.

Do not repeat any options. The following fragment is incorrect because -c appears twice. In most cases, the CLU will catch this inconsistency and flag it as an error. However, if no error is given, the database server uses the last instance of the option. In the following example, the database server uses the value -c utah:

-c ohio -i 500 -c utah

Tip:
For ease of maintenance, always use the same order for your options.
