Description
When SET NETWORKSHARE is ON, the path for a table inside the database catalog is ignored and all tables are accessed from the database directory path. This simplifies the sharing of data across a LAN between Windows and Linux. The same behavior can also be set by using the --networkshare command line switch on the Lianja runtime command.
Note: To share databases between Windows and Linux, lowercase names should always be used for the tables as Linux filenames are case sensitive.
Example
set networkshare on
