Start Operations
When start functionality is invoked on an Actian database instance, Director checks the following:
• Does the user have the Ingres SERVER_CONTROL privilege?
• Are there sufficient operating system resources to run your Actian database?
• Has the log file been initialized?
If these requirements are not met, an error is displayed.
Microsoft Windows only: An instance may also be started as a service (see Start an Instance). Ingres must be started as a service on Windows systems with UAC enabled, which disables the regular start option.
