Adding Files to the Dictionary

To add additional files to the FairCom Data Dictionary, create a new dictionary script listing all files to include in that database. The new files will be appended to the database name that corresponds to the script name. This also allows you to remove files from a database. The re-creation of the dictionary takes place the next time the c-tree ODBC Driver is accessed.

For example, to add a new file ORDERS to CUSTOMER.DB, a script would be created as follows:

CUSTOMERS     c:\FAIRCOM\ODBC\32bit\sample\custmast.dat

ORDERS        c:\FAIRCOM\ODBC\32bit\sample\order.dat

For this example, ensure the Script Name is set to CUSTOMER.DB and the location specified by the Data Dictionary Path is the location of CUSTOMER.DB. The next time an ODBC application accesses the c-tree ODBC Driver that references CUSTOMER.DB as the Script Name, the ORDERS file will be appended to the dictionary. After the file is appended to the dictionary, the script (CUSTOMER.DB) is no longer needed.
