Activating the Database Shadow

Go Up to Setting Database Properties Using InterBase Services

The ActivateShadow method of the IBConfigService component lets you activate a shadow file for database use.

For example, you could associate the ActivateShadow method to a button:

procedure TDBConfigForm.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  with IBConfigService1 do
  begin
  ActivateShadow;
  end;
end;

For more information, see “Shadowing” in the Operations Guide.
