About the Tasks

• Each task is divided into three parts:

  Getting Ready

  describes preparatory steps and gives information you need to know before performing the task.

  Performing the Task

  describes how to perform the task.

  Task Reference

  lists information useful when performing the task and provides cross-references to related tasks.

• To perform most tasks you must be attached to the DBEnvironment. Here are some general guidelines:

  • To issue the SET commands, you must be the creator or supply the maintenance word of the TurboIMAGE/XL database or DBEnvironment named in the command.

  • For most other commands you must be a DBA of the DBEnvironment. For commands involving database security, you must be the DBC. The maintenance word is not sufficient.

• Figure 2-1 “IMAGE/SQL Utility Command Prerequisites” shows the prerequisites needed to issue all IMAGE/SQL utility commands. For complete IMAGE/SQL utility command syntax, refer to Chapter 4, " IMAGE/SQL Utility Commands."
