Databases in Recital are implemented as directories containing files that correspond to the tables and associated files in the database. Operating System file protection can be applied individually to the files for added security. The directories are sub-directories of the data directory. The environment variable / symbol DB_DATADIR points to the current data directory and can be queried using the GETENV() function. Files from other directories can also be added to the database using the ADD TABLE command or via the database catalog and SET AUTOCATALOG functionality.
Example
CREATE TABLE freetable (freeid char(10)) open database southwind ADD TABLE freetable list files REMOVE TABLE freetable
