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

DBNAME_ING affects users who connect to the database specified by DBNAME through the QUEL terminal monitor. If set globally with ingsetenv, it affects all users of DBNAME. If set interactively or locally in this user’s .login, .profile, or .cshrc file it affects only this user.

Setting the DBNAME_ING environment variable is equivalent to users executing \i filename in the QUEL terminal monitor each time they connect to DBNAME.
