FYI: how to setup SQL Server for OS/2



 
    
Hi Buddies,

Shit happens while you set up SQL Server for OS/2 version 11.0.2:

1. It only can be installed on OS/2 Server. OS/2 Warp "da4 da4 de bu4 xing2"!!
2. The best way to install it is install at first, then exit installation
shell and configure lately.
3. Before you configure a new SQL Server, you should add 

	SET SYBASE=C:\SQL11
	SET DSQUERY=SYBASE

in config.sys. And append

	C:\SQL11\DLL to LIBPATH and
	C:\SQL11\BIN to PATH

Anther important issue is that you should unset LANG variation in config.sys.
This variation often define LANGUAGE as EN_US by Compiler package. You will
never run setup process or run SQL Server sucessfully if you don't unset it.

	SET LANG= 

at the bottom of config.sys

4. While you configure up BACKUP Server, you will get message:

	SERVER ERROR: Failed to boot server "SYB_BACKUP", process is running
	but server is unavailable

At this time, you should willy-nilly move forward. Actually, Backup Server has 
been running! It's only a prank that SQL Server plays :-(


Thanx,
-M
