Command Syntax to Access a Distributed Database
For those systems that support Star Server, using a distributed database requires that you specify the server type. The server type for a distributed database is /d or /star.
To start the Ingres Menu with a distributed database called corpdata, enter either of the following commands:
ingmenu corpdata/d
ingmenu corpdata/star
If the database is on the remote oakland node, enter:
ingmenu oakland::corpdata/d
ingmenu oakland::corpdata/star
For more information about distributed databases, see the Database Administrator Guide.
