INSTALLATION HINTS

Copy the GDemo.exe to a temporary folder and start it. 
The user must have rights to write to the C:\WINDOWS (%SystemRoot%) directory.

dbGonzales is configured by the gonzales.ini in this directory. 

THE GDEMO APPLICATION MANAGES THE GONZALES.INI BY ITSELF. YOU CAN CHANGE IT MANUALLY IF YOU WANT TO TUNE THE APPLICATION.

The gonzales.ini has the following layout:

[INIT]
; This section is for the client aplications
InitialCache=512 
; InitialCache= number of pages (8kb) a client should use as a maximum
server=0
; server= [0 | 1] 
; 0 = don't look for a local server - faster startup if none is running
; 1 = look for a local server 

[ALIAS]
; Alias entries are only required for servers or if you access a database
; standalone.
;Syntax:
;AliasName=LocalPathToAlias
;Example: 
;GDemo=C:\Demo\GDemo.gdf

[SHARED]
; SHARED entries are only required for servers. 
; SHARED entries can improve the speed for data access from clients
; !! if you are not shure leave it blank !!
;Syntax:
;AliasName=SharedPathToAlias
;Path C:\Demo must be a shared ressource with name DEMO on Server SERVER
;Example: 
;GDemo=\\SERVER\DEMO\GDemo.gdf
;or
;GDemo=P:\GDemo.gdf if P is a remote drive to \\SERVER\DEMO

[SERVER]
InitialCache=1024
; InitialCache= number of pages (8kb) a server should use as maximum at start
AddCachePerClient=64
; AddCachePerClient= number of pages a server should add to its cache / client
BACKUP_DIRECTORY=C:\GonzalesBack\
BACKUP_INTERVALL=60
; if you have the AutoBackup-Service running the above entries say where
; and how often the server should make a backup of the database
; BACKUP_DIRECTORY= Path to Backup Directory
; BACKUP_INTERVALL= Intervall of backup in minutes
MAX_SERVER=1
Server1=SERVER
; This entry is used by clients to locate the servers on the net.
; Syntax:
; MAX_SERVER=N (= number of servers)
; Server1=ServerName (name or IP-Address of the server with name ServerName)
; ...
; ServerN=SERVER-N
;
; How a client connects to an Alias:
; If a client connects to an Alias with Name AliasName it first looks at the
; [ALIAS] entries. If an entry with AliasName exists it opens this alias eigther
; standalone (no local server running) or in client/server mode (local server
; running).
; If the client cannot find a matching entry in the [ALIAS] section, it looks 
; through the list of servers and asks each server if it has this Alias. 
; If yes it connects to it.
; ==> For a normal setup, you don't need any [ALIAS] entries for a client !!!
; To change the location of an alias, you just have to change [ALIAS] section of
; the server(s).
