Description
The SET DATADIR command is used to specify a directory where database tables, memos, indexes, and dictionary files are located. When a table is being opened this directory is searched first before the current directory and the file search path to locate the table and its associated files. This allows the database tables to be relocated to a different file system without the need to change an existing application.
The SET DATADIR TO command without a <path-name> removes the previously set directory from the search path.
Example
set datadir to /usr/app1/data
Products
Recital Server, Recital
