The following programs demonstrate how to specify a COMPILETIME and RUNTIME database as the same database. Because a RUNTIME database is not explicitly declared, the programs use the COMPILETIME database at runtime also.
1 – C Example
#include <stdio.h> DATABASE PERS = FILENAME "PERSONNEL"; main () { READY PERS; START_TRANSACTION READ_ONLY; /* perform some action on the database */ COMMIT; FINISH; }
2 – Pascal Example
program db (input,output); DATABASE PERS = FILENAME 'PERSONNEL'; begin READY PERS; START_TRANSACTION READ_ONLY; (* perform some actions on the database *) COMMIT; FINISH; end.
