PostgreSQL Engine settings
Start PostgreSQL
Start
Start PostgreSQL specifies whether PostgreSQL
is started upon start up of DWebPro
Accepted values: 0, 1
Daemon Path
DaemonPath
Daemon Path specifies the path pointing
to the PostgreSQL daemon, normally
postmaster.exe, that will be opened by DWebPro. Refer to the DWebPro Internal Constants topic for additional information. Accepted values: string
Data Directory
DataDir
Data Directory specifies the path to
the directory where the PostgreSQL database files reside. Refer to
the DWebPro Internal Constants topic for additional
information on paths.
Accepted values: string
 |
Our preconfigured PostgreSQL 7.2 package has a limit specific to the data directory (DataDir). This version cannot work if the data directory has a path exceeding 64 characters. This means that the destination directory (DestinationDir) must be shorter than 64 characters. Under Windows 2000/XP/2003, the user's temporary folder is usually located in a long path (for example, C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\) that is 60 characters long. Therefore, use caution when using the ##TEMP## variable. You can instead use ##DWEBPRO_PERSONAL##, which refers to the Documents folder. |
Custom Params
CustomParams
Custom Params specifies additional parameters
that can be passed to the PostgreSQL daemon at startup.
Accepted values: string
Network settings
Port
Port
Port specifies the port on which PostgreSQL
listens.
Accepted values: integer

Find Free Port specifies whether DWebPro
should search for free ports on which to start PostgreSQL. Refer to
the DWebPro Internal Constants topic for additional
information.
Accepted values: 0, 1
Startup / Shutdown settings
Run Locally
RunLocally
When you use PostgreSQL from CD/DVD, DWebPro automatically copies
some files to the user's file system to enable PostgreSQL to work
correctly. Select the Run Locally option to
avoid this copy process. Note that you may safely select the Run Locally option only when you run DWebPro from a hard
drive or other writable media. It can be useful to select the Run Locally option during the development phase.
Accepted values: 0, 1
Show Shutdown Timeout Message
ShowShutDownTimeOutMessage
Show Shutdown Timeout Message specifies
whether DWebPro prompts the user prior to closing PostgreSQL.
Accepted values: 0, 1
Shutdown Timeout
ShutDownTimeout
Shutdown Timeout specifies the timeout,
in milliseconds, before PostgreSQL is forced to close.

Shutdown on Exit
ShutDownOnExit
Shutdown on Exit specifies whether PostgreSQL
is closed on DWebPro shutdown.
Accepted values: 0, 1

of the directory to which the PostgreSQL files will be copied. Refer
to the DWebPro Internal Constants topic for additional
information on paths.
Accepted values: string
Database Version
DatabaseVersion
Database Version specifies the version
of the PostgreSQL database. If you want to distribute your application
with different versions of the database or distribute an updated version
of the database within the same application, you can use this field
to specify which version of the database you are distributing and
let DWebPro automatically start the database server with the correct
database.
