Enabling Interbase 6.0
Cobalt RaQ XTR User Manual 235
InterBase offers a number of database features—triggers, stored procedures,
blobs, event alerters, user-defined functions, multi-dimensional arrays, two-phase
commit, referential integrity, constraints and a flexible set of transaction options.
To enable the InterBase 6.0 database server:
1. Telnet in to the RaQ XTR server and log in as the user admin or alteradmin .
2. From the command prompt, enter:
su -
3. Press Enter . A password prompt appears.
4. Enter the administrator password. A command-line interface appears.
5. Open an editor and edit the file:
/etc/inetd.conf
6. Locate the line with
gds_db
service. This line is commented out with a
# symbol.
7. Remove the # symbol. This enables inetd.conf to launch the InterBase 6.0
database server when requests are made to its port.
8. Save the file and exit the editor.
9. Enter the command
killall -HUP inetd
This causes the inetd server to re-read its configuration file and activate the
InterBase 6.0 database server.
10. Enter
exit
to end your session as root.
