Opening a database

To use iBase you need to log on and open a database. Logging on happens automatically if iBase is set up to use your existing Windows username and password. You will be prompted to enter an iBase username and password if iBase is not set up in this way.

If you have previously opened a database, iBase may offer to open that database the next time you start.You can only have one database open at a time in any iBase session. When you have opened a database, you can perform all of the actions that your access control settings allow.

Note: An administrator, using iBase Designer, must have created a database before you can use it. Alternatively, you may be able to create a new database from a template supplied by the database designer.

Note: You cannot open a non-Unicode database created in a different language environment. For details of supported language groups, see the iBase Release Notes.
