Logical Database Mapping Section

Local (Windows Client machine resident) database mappings are defined in sections that have the same format as for logical database mapping used by the kernel.

The section names are in the format of:

[Database – Logical_name]

Each section has one entry of the format:

Location=Physical_directory_path

where

Physical_directory_path points to the directory that contains the data files.

Filenames are not case sensitive on the Windows platform.

If a logical file name is defined (using the logical filename surrounded by a percent sign, e.g. %DATA%), and it cannot be resolved, it will be used as is, even if the text string is empty.
