Administration Modes
Database Builder supports being run in three different Administration Modes that are user-configurable via a system registry setting. Each Administration Mode enables or disables various functions in Database Builder.
To change the mode, you must edit the following registry setting:
Defaults\dbAdminMode
This can be found under the DataFlex key in (32-bit Windows versions):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Data Access Worldwide\DataFlex\
This can be found under the DataFlex key in (64-bit Windows versions):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Data Access Worldwide\DataFlex\
Valid options for this registry setting are:
End User Mode
In this mode, Database Builder cannot modify any table structures or indexes; it can only print table status reports and access the table maintenance options.
End User Mode allows your application users to access functions such as re-indexing, repairing data, and other maintenance functions. Users will be locked out of all other functions.
To place Database Builder in End User Mode, set the dbAdminMode variable as follows:
dbAdminMode = OFF
Database Mode
In this mode, Database Builder can modify table structures and indexes. You also have full access to table status reports and the table maintenance options.
To place Database Builder into Database Mode, set the dbAdminMode variable as follows:
dbAdminMode = ON
Full Mode
This mode is a legacy mode as of DataFlex 14.1, when Data Dictionary modeling was moved from Database Builder to the Studio.
Full Mode gives you full access to all of Database Builder’s capabilities.
To place Database Builder in Full Mode, set the dbAdminMode variable as follows:
dbAdminMode = DDB
