Folks,

Just wondering if it is possible to spawn a new database engine instance from within the c-api?

I want to be able to do something like this from within my application

dbspawn dbeng12 -n Test1 /Users/DCleyne/Test1.db

Cheers,

Dan

You can use the DBF connection parameter to specify the pathname to the database file and the client library will start an engine automatically if needed.

Example:

res = api.sqlany_connect( conn, "uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=/Users/DCleyne/Test1.db" );

Also take a look at the START connection parameter.

This topic on locating a server in the docs also talk about auto-starting a database.
