DBNAME Using Aliases

It is strongly recommended to define and use aliases to simplify life for you and your users.It makes your DBNAME values completely neutral to the filesystem and so much less cumbersome.In our last pairs of examples, the same alias was used on both Windows and POSIX.The one on the Windows server would be defined thus:

dummy = C:\db\myDb.fdb

while, on the Linux server, it would be defined thus:

dummy = /usr/local/db/myDb.fdb
