Registering the Database

---

In a network environment, the name of a database must be registered on each node from which it is to be accessed.

A database is created as a local database on the node where it resides and it is defined as a remote database on each other node in the network from which access to it is required.

UNIX + VMS: On Unix and OpenVMS nodes, the name of a database is registered by creating an entry for it in the SQLHOSTS file. See The SQLHOSTS File on VMS and UNIX for details about this file. All users must have read access to the SQLHOSTS file on the machine they are using in order to run applications and utilities accessing Mimer SQL databases.

Win: On a Windows node, the name of a database is registered by running the Mimer Administrator. The Mimer Administrator adds information about Mimer SQL databases to the Windows registry. Refer to the Windows help provided with the Mimer Administrator for details on how to use it.
