Options in database path

A database path refers to the location of the root base for the database. Paths can be defined as absolute or relative paths, or as reference path containing symbolic references enclosed in %...% ( %option_name% ).

Symbolic path references are resolved by replacing corresponding option values defined in the application or main option section in a configuration or ini-file. When running local or file server applications, symbolic names in the path must be defined on the local machine. When running a client/server application, the database file path is passed to the server and symbolic variables are resolved (and must be set properly) on the server side.
