Searching local directories

Use a pathname without a database server name to search for .sql scripts on your local computer. In the following example, the DBPATH setting causes DB-Access to search for the database files in your current directory and then in the Joachim and Sonja directories on the local computer:

setenv DBPATH /usr/joachim:/usr/sonja

As the previous example shows, if the pathname specifies a directory name but not a database server name, the directory is sought on the computer that runs the default database server that the INFORMIXSERVER specifies; see INFORMIXSERVER environment variable. For instance, with the previous example, if INFORMIXSERVER is set to quality, the DBPATH value is interpreted, as the following example shows, where the double slash precedes the database server name:

setenv DBPATH //quality/usr/joachim://quality/usr/sonja
