# ------------------------------

# List of known databases

# ------------------------------

 

#

# Makes it possible to specify per-database configuration parameters.

# See the list of them and description on file firebird.conf.

# To place that parameters in this file add them in curly braces

# after "alias = /path/to/database.fdb" line. Example:

#        big = /databases/bigdb.fdb

#        {

#                LockMemSize = 32M                # We know that bigdb needs a lot of locks

#                LockHashSlots = 19927        #        and big enough hash table for them

#        }

#

 

#

# Example Database:

#

# employee.fdb = $(dir_sampleDb)/employee.fdb

# employee = $(dir_sampleDb)/employee.fdb

 

#

# Master security database specific setup.

# Do not remove it until you understand well what are you doing!

#

security.db = $(dir_secDb)/security3.fdb

{

 RemoteAccess = false

 DefaultDbCachePages = 50

}

 

#

# Live Databases:

#

Filopto10 = C:\Programdata\FiloptoData\data\Filopto10.fdb

 

 

 

The last line named Filopto10 contains the Alias name and path used by the user's Filopto.ini file to locate and connect to the Filopto 10 database.  The path is the physical location on the server of the Filopto 10 database.  If your C drive is small you can move the data file to another drive and then change the alias path to point to the new location of the database.
