Init

First we need to open a connection to a database by providing the c-treeACE Database Engine with a user name, password and the database name.

Below is the code for Initialize():

/********************************************************

*                                                       *

* db_init:      Open the data files and indices. They   *

*               must have been already created. Most of *

*               the important parameters for the files  *

*               are set when the file was created.	     *

*                                                       *
