When you start solidDB^®, it reads configuration parameters from the solid.ini configuration file.

The solid.ini file specifies parameters that help you customize and optimize the solidDB^® database server. For example, the IndexFile.FileSpec parameter in the solid.ini file specifies the directory and file names of the data files in which the server stores the user data. Similarly, the IndexFile.BlockSize parameter specifies the block size for the database. The block size affects performance and also limits the maximum record size.

For a description of all parameters, details about the proper format of the solid.ini file, and instructions for specifying solid.ini configuration parameters, see Server-side configuration parameters. For more details about setting parameters, see Configuring solidDB^®.
