OpenEdge Data Management:<br />DataServer for ORACLE Optional connection and startup parameters

You can use other OpenEdge startup and connection parameters with the DataServer. Table 6–4 describes parameters that are especially relevant to using the OpenEdge DataServer for ORACLE.

Table 6–4: Optional connection and startup parameters
Parameter	Description
Database Type (`-dt` `ORACLE`)	Specifies that the non-OpenEdge type of the target database is ORACLE.
DataServer (`-Dsrv`)	Specifies parameters that allow you to control how the DataServer processes queries. `-Dsrv` is a connection parameter. See the "Query tuning with connection and startup parameters" section for more information.
Logical Database Name (`-ld`)	Specifies the logical name for the ORACLE database. This is the name by which you refer to the database in your applications.
Index Cursors (`-c`)	Specifies the maximum number of ORACLE cursors per user that OpenEdge opens. This parameter is valid only for connecting to ORACLE databases. It has no effect when connecting to the schema holder. See the "Index cursors" section for more information.
Schema Cache File (`-cache`)	Specifies the name of a binary file that contains the schema for a database. Reading schema from this file is more efficient than reading from a remote schema holder. See the "Local schema caching" section for more information.
Data Service (`-DataService`)	Specifies the data service the NameServer uses. For more information, see the "Starting the DataServer in the Explorer administration framework" section. Note: This parameter is required for Progress Explorer connections and must be used in conjunction with the `-Dsrv` `SVUB,1` option.
Direct Connect (`-DirectConnect`)	When using Progress Explorer, this parameter instructs the client to bypass the controlling NameServer and connect directly to the ORACLE DataServer Broker.
Internal Code Page (`-cpinternal`)	Specifies the name of the code page that OpenEdge uses in memory. This code page must match the code page that the ORACLE database uses. Required when using a code page other than ibm850 or iso8859-1, such as in a DBE DataServer configuration.
Stream Code Page (`-cpstream`)	Specifies the name of the code page that OpenEdge uses for stream I/O. This code page must match the code page that the ORACLE database uses. Required when using a code page other than ibm850 or iso8859-1, such as in a DBE DataServer configuration.
