4D v13.4
Overview
Overview
Database settings configure how the current database functions. These parameters may be different for each database. They include the listening ports, access rights to the Design environment, SQL configurations, etc. 4D provides two modes of operation for these settings:
Most of the settings are applied immediately. However, a few of them (such as the Start-up environment setting) only take effect when the database is restarted. In this case, a dialog box appears to inform you that the change will take effect at the next startup. 4D Server: Object locking occurs when two or more users try to modify the settings in the Database Settings dialog box at the same time. Only one user can use the Database Settings dialog box at a time. Note: 4D provides another set of parameters that are applied to the 4D application: the user preferences. For more information, refer to the Preferences chapter. You can access the Database Settings dialog box as follows:
Note: In "user settings" mode, two menu commands are available at each location: In the Preferences and Settings dialog boxes, parameters whose values have been modified appear in bold: Preferences indicated as customized may have been modified directly in the dialog box, or may have been modified previously in the case of a converted database. A parameter still appears in bold even when its value is replaced manually with its default values. This way it is always possible to visually identify any parameters that have been customized. To reset the parameters to their default values and remove the bold style indicating that they have been customized, click on the Factory settings button: This button resets all the parameters of the current page. It becomes active when at least one parameter has been modified on the current page. |
