CHAPTER 8: Implications


Using the Database Server has only a minimal impact in most situations when running Empress. However, there are certain implications to consider when using the Database Server, such as Empress functions that cannot use the server.

Most accesses to an Empress database will be carried out transparently by the server. However, not all Empress functions may be run via the Database Server. Functions that create, remove, rename or directly access a database directory cannot use the Database Server.

The following functions can be run using the Database Server:

emp4gl
emp4bldx
emp4ctdb
emp4prt
empadm
empcc
empdbld
empesql
empecc
empef77
empexpt
empf77
empimpt
empisocv
emprepwr
empshm
empsql
empbatch
empcmd
empsvadm
empvers
empwarm

The following functions cannot be run on a database which is accessed using the Database Server:

emp4init
emparch
empcnvt
empmkdb
emprecov
emprmdb
empsv
