Examples: Accessing Distributed Databases
To open the Ingres Menu and access a distributed database on your local node, type the following command:
ingmenu distdbname/star
The /star parameter signifies the Star server class.
To open the Ingres Menu and access a distributed database on a remote node whose vnode name is paris, type the following command:
ingmenu paris::distdbname/star
In this case, you must specify both the vnode name of the remote node and the Star server class.
Whether the distributed database is on your local node or on a remote node, once you have accessed the database by means of Ingres Star, you can work on the database as if it were a collection of tables in a single Ingres database.
