The Windows version of solidDB® is by default an icon exe version. You can allow Windows to run solidDB® as a service by using the option -s install.
Note After the service is installed, it must be started manually using the Windows Services dialog or command prompt.
The [autostart] parameter sets the Startup Type of the service to Automatic, that is, solidDB® will run automatically as a service when Windows is started. Note, however, that regardless of the [autostart] parameter, the service is not started automatically at the time of install. For the first time, the service has to be started manually in the Windows Services dialog or command prompt.
When the server is running as a service, the server cannot interact with the display and cannot create a new database. The service version writes warning and error messages also to the Windows event log.

solid -s"install,SOLID,
D:\SOLID\SOLID.EXE
-cD:\SOLID"
solid -s"install,SOLID, D:\SOLID\SOLID.EXE -cD:\SOLID,autostart"
|
|
-s remove,name
|
Removes a Windows service instance of the solidDB® server
|
solid -s"remove,SOLID"
|
|
-s start
|
Specifies that solidDB® starts in a services mode when, for example, solidDB® is created as a service using the Windows sc.exe utility.
In the services mode, solidDB® cannot interact with the display and cannot create a new database.
Note The - s start option is included automatically when using the -s install option.
|
sc create SOLID binPath= "c:\soliddb\bin\solid.exe -cC:\soliddb -sstart"

-U username

Specifies the username for the database that is being created.
See also options -x execute, - x executeandnoexit, and -x exit.

|
|
|
-p

|
|
|
-E
|
Encrypts the database.
An encryption password is mandatory when -E is specified. The encryption password is needed to protect the symmetric encryption key which is stored in an unencrypted header page of the database file.
Specify the encryption password using the -x keypwdfile:file_name or -S encryption_password option.
|
solid -C mycatalog -U admin -P admin123 -E -x keypwdfile:pwd.txt

You can also use the options -U and -P to provide the DBA user name and password.
The input file must be encoded with a 7-bit or 8-bit character set, such as ASCII or Latin-1.
|
solid.exe -x execute:init.sql
solid.exe -x execute:init.sql -Udba -Pdba
|
|
-x executeandnoexit: file_name
|
Prompts for the user name and password of the database administrator, creates a new database, executes SQL statements from a file, but does not exit.
You can also use the options -U and -P to provide the DBA user name and password.
The input file must be encoded with a 7-bit or 8-bit character set, such as ASCII or Latin-1.

|
|
-x listen:network_name
|
Sets a listening address
|
|
|
-x migratehsbg2
|
This command-line switch has two effects:
▪It instructs the server to accept and convert the existing database (the same effect as the -x autoconvert parameter).
▪It enables the new Secondary to communicate with the old Primary by way of the old replication protocol.
This parameter is needed only when upgrading a server that uses HotStandby.
