Cataloging the SAMPLE database
To access the SAMPLE database on
the server from a remote client, you need to catalog the SAMPLE database
on the client workstation.
You do not need to catalog the
SAMPLE database on the server workstation because it was cataloged
on the server when you created it.
About this task
Cataloging updates the database directory on the client workstation with the name of the database that the client application wants to access. When processing client requests, the database manager uses the cataloged name to find and connect to the database.
