The onpload database

The tables in the onpload database hold information that the onpload utility uses. This section describes the tables in the onpload database that you create or modify with ipload.

When you start ipload, ipload looks for a database named onpload on the database server that your INFORMIXSERVER environment variable specifies. If the onpload database is not present, ipload creates an onpload database as a non-ANSI database.

When ipload creates an onpload database, it populates some of the tables in the database with default values. You can use DB-Acess to examine the values in the tables. However, it is recommended that you always use ipload to change the onpload database.
