This name applies to the QUEL single-line terminal monitor only. INIT_INGRES points to SET statements within a file that are executed whenever this Ingres environment variable/logical takes effect.

INIT_INGRES affects users who connect to the QUEL terminal monitor. If set globally, it affects all users. If set interactively or locally, it affects only this user.

Windows: Global setting is with ingsetenv, or locally in the user’s environment.

UNIX: Global setting is with ingsetenv, or locally in the user’s .login, .profile, or .cshrc file.

VMS: Global setting is with define/system, define/group, or locally with define/process in the user’s login.com file.

Setting INIT_INGRES variable/logical is equivalent to a user’s executing \i filename in the QUEL terminal monitor each time they connect to a database.
