starview Command—Start StarView
The starview command invokes StarView, a simple forms-based program that helps you manage your distributed databases using Ingres Star. StarView allows access to multiple databases simultaneously. For more information on StarView, see the Ingres Star User Guide.
The StarView program operates the same way as forms-based Ingres tools. For a complete explanation of using forms, see the Character-based Querying and Reporting Tools User Guide.
The starview command has the following format:
starview [vnode::][distdbname][/star]
vnode
Specifies a remote vnode name, if you want to run StarView against a distributed database on a remote node.
distdbname/star
Specifies a distributed database name. If specified, the Node Status and LDB Types frame is displayed. If you invoke StarView without specifying a database name, the opening StarView main frame is displayed. The /star is the server class.
