This manual describes the means that can be used to control and monitor database operation. It is therefore aimed at system administrators responsible for starting and terminating database operation and for overseeing the current session. It is also aimed at programmers who create SESAM/SQL applications with the linked-in version of the Data Base Handler (DBH).
Users should know the basic principles, concepts and interrelationships of the SESAM/SQL database system, as described in the “ Core manual”. In particular, they should be familiar with the contents of the chapter entitled “Database operation” in this manual. Knowledge of the fundamentals of the BS2000 operating system and the Universal Transaction Monitor, openUTM, is also advantageous.
