Configuration settings

The Eloquera DB server uses the Eloquera.config file for reading the settings assigned by the developer/administrator. The client library does not need the configuration file as it gets all required information from the connection string and by analyzing the environment.

In the desktop mode, the server library still needs the configuration data. Prior to the version 3.1.2, the Eloquera.config file was required for the server library to function.

Starting from the version 3.1.2, the configuration can be set up programmatically. In absence of the Eloquera.config file, the server will assume the default configuration except the path to the database files. This path must be set after establishing the connection and prior to any other operations with the databases:

DB db = new DB("server=(local);options=none;");

DB.Configuration.ServerSettings.DatabasePath = @"c:\dev\db";

Note that the programmatic settings only work with the desktop mode, and have no power in the client/server mode.
