Purpose
Finding out the HFSQL data directory.
Syntax
<Result> = FolderData()
<Result> is a character string corresponding to the absolute path used to access the data.
Details
FolderData returns the path of HFSQL data files.
For a setup performed via physical media, the directory is given during the setup.
In the case of a remote access setup (FTP), the host provides the base directory of the data files, and the user provides the subdirectory in which the data files are installed.
In test mode, this function returns an empty string.
The data directory is the directory where the HFSQL files are found by default, which means:
  • if HSubstDir is not used.
  • if the files are described in the analysis with a specific directory (not recommended)
Remarks
The string returned does not end with a '\' (backslash)
The path returned is:
  • a full path. Example: "D:\DATA\Rewali.
  • a UNC name. Example: \\SERVERA\DATA\Rewali
Minimum version required
  • Version 9
