Database Identifier (db-uri)

The Database Uniform Resource Identifier (db-uri) is used to identify the database name, location and communication transport to be used when opening a database. The syntax for the naming convention is:

db-uri:
        [ db-uri ] database_name

Database Name	Description
bookStore	"bookStore" on embedded TFS.
tfs-tcp://www.raima.com/bookStore	"bookStore" using TCP/IP with the default port number at hostname "www.raima.com"
tfs-shm://21553/bookStore	"bookStore" using default shared-memory to TFS
tfs-shm://partition-01/bookStore	"bookStore" using shared-memory to TFS named "partition-01"
tfs-tcp://[::1]:1530/bookStore	"bookStore" using TCP/IP IPv6 using the loopback address on port 1530
tfs-tcp://[fe80::40da:bf3f:ae9f:fe87]:2000/bookStore	"bookStore" using TCP/IP IPv6 to a specified machine on port 2000.
tfs-tcp://192.168.101.139:2000/bookStore	"bookStore" using TCP/IP IPv4 to a specified machine on port 2000.

Specifying a database name will by default open the database in the current working directory. However, specifying a database URI will open the database on a remote TFServer. Examples of database name or URIs: 'MY_DB', 'tfs-tcp://localhost:21553/MY_DB', 'tfs-shm://MY_TFS/MY_DB'

A db-uri is required for connecting to external TFS.

An empty db-uri is required to connect to an in-process TFS (embedded).
