man update () - update -- command line setting of Interchange databases

NAME

update -- command line setting of Interchange databases

1.0

   update -c catalog [-f field -k key [-t table] value]

Interchange's CWupdate is a rudimentary method of directly setting the DBM files (not the ASCII files) of a Interchange DBM database.

NOTE: This command DOES NOT APPLY TO SQL databases. They have their own command line monitors that are more flexible.

-c name: Sets the catalog for which CWupdate operates. It reads the catalog.cfg file to retrieve database settings.
-f field: The name of the field to set.
-n name: The name of the table to set. If the table is not a DBM database the CWupdate program will terminate with an error.
