Description

The COMPILE DATABASE command compiles all the stored procedure files or program source files in the specified database or databases. The name of the target database is specified in <database name>. Multiple databases can be specified using the skeleton and wild card characters. The database or databases need not be open when the COMPILE DATABASE command is issued.

Databases in Recital are implemented as directories containing files that correspond to the tables and associated files in the database. Operating System file protection can be applied individually to the files for added security. The directories are sub-directories of the Recital data directory. The environment variable / symbol DB_DATADIR points to the current Recital data directory and can be queried using the GETENV() function. Files from other directories can be added to the database using the ADD TABLE command or via the database catalog and SET AUTOCATALOG functionality.
