Description

altibase is the executable server file that controls all Altibase services.

To start up or shut down Altibase normally in a production environment, do not use this command. Instead, log into iSQL in SYSDBA mode and use the startup or shutdown command, or use the server command. The server command is actually a shell comprising several commands related to starting up and shutting down the server. For more information about the server utility, please refer to server in this document.

For a complete explanation of how to start up and shut down Altibase, please refer to the iSQL User's Manual or the Altibase Getting Started Manual.

When the Altibase server process is started using iSQL, it runs in the background. In contrast, when the altibase command is executed at the shell prompt with the -n option, Altibase is executed in the foreground. This is used only for Altibase debugging purposes, and is not intended or recommended for live deployment, that is, for use in a production environment.

Running the altibase executable file with the -v option does not start up the server, but merely outputs information about the currently installed version of Altibase.
