| DICT Only |
-
When checked, the Data Level section of the dialog is disabled.
Only the Dictionary table will be created.
-
When unchecked, the Data Level section of the dialog is enabled,
allowing you to define both a new Dictionary table and a new Data
Level table. The new Data Level table will be listed as a sub-item
of the new Dictionary table in the Domain Explorer.
Note that the parameter descriptions below apply to both Dictionary
and Data Level tables. |
| Name |
Table Name. Any string of up to 50 characters, excluding the
colon (:) character. If the database was created using the case insensitive
option, the Dictionary file name is case insensitive. If the Dictionary
is case insensitive, the Data Level name is case insensitive, whether
the database is case sensitive or not. |
| Modulo |
Enter the table modulo. The modulo should be selected in conjunction
with the frame size so that the items are properly distributed across
the table, without excessive group overflow. |
| Frame Size |
Select a frame size. By default, both the Dictionary and Data
Level frame sizes are 4 KB. Small frame sizes are suited to files
that contain a few small items. |
| Server |
Network name of the server where the table will reside. By
default, the dialog will create the table on the server where the
database resides, but there is no requirement. The Dictionary and
the Data Levels do not need to be located on the same systems. Selecting
the server is essentially a question of disk space, performance, and
proximity to the users. The server name can be either the network
name of the computer, an alias defined in the registry of this server,
or a server environment variable. The list of Server Environment Variables
is displayed by clicking the Env. button. The
D3 File System Interface service must be started on this server. See Server environment variables for more information.
|
| Path |
Full path name where the table is to reside. Use forward slashes
(/) to separate the directory names. If the path starts with a / or
a drive letter (for example, C:/mypath), the path is absolute and
the table will be created on that location. If the path does not start
with a /, the path is relative and is added at the end of the root
directory specified in the server configuration used to create the
table. When using a drive, it is important to specify an absolute
path (start with a /), otherwise the directory will be appended to
whatever current directory the drive is set to. Note that UNC names
(\\server\path) are not supported. The Path can be any valid host
file system path, or a path environment variable. The list of Path
Environment Variables is displayed by clicking the Env. button. See Path environment variables for more information.
Note: It is advised to leave the path empty and to let the system create
the table under the file system server root.
|
| Case Insensitive |
Specifies that all items in the table, including table names
for a Dictionary, will be case insensitive. |
