Access
The details below are displayed when an "SQL Server database" has been selected in the Database manager list of the Create a database window in the Database management tool.
You need to create two files for the database: the data file and the transaction log file.
You must enter the following details for both the data file and the transaction log file.
Data entry
Database
Database name.
This (alphanumerical) name must be unique within the machine's database catalog.
With Adelia, environment names cannot be longer than eight characters, and the "HST" prefix denotes a "buffer" environment. The environment name must be unique within the Adelia catalog.
Mandatory entry.
File name
Name of the data file or transaction log file.
Enter the full path or click the "..." button to display a Windows system dialog box that lets you select a directory.
