Selecting a Mimer SQL Installation


A host computer can have several versions of the Mimer SQL database system installed simultaneously.

Access to a specific version is done through logical names (MIMEXE8, etc.). Since the major version number (currently 8) is included in the logical names, Mimer SQL version 7 and version 8 can run concurrently without any interference.

If several versions of MIMER8 are installed, you can use the MIMSETUP8 command procedure to specify exactly which version a program should work with.

Normally, you do a system wide definition of the logical names. However, you can specify another Mimer SQL version by running the MIMSETUP8 command procedure and specifying a GROUP, JOB or PROCESS logical name definition (see MIMSETUP8 Syntax for details on MIMSETUP8).

Note: When starting a database server, any JOB or PROCESS logical names will not be inherited by the database server process. The database server will use the Mimer SQL version specified in the GROUP or SYSTEM logical name tables.
