You can start a multi-user interactive session against a running database using:

  • The PROWIN command in Windows
  • The MPRO command in UNIX

Note: When you start a multi-user interactive session using PROWIN or MPRO, the Procedure Editor is launched.

In Windows, the syntax of the PROWIN command is:

prowin db-name [-H host-name -S service-name]

In UNIX, the syntax of the MPRO command is:

mpro db-name [-H host-name -S service-name]

Note: You can also start a multi-user interactive session against a database in character mode using the _PROGRES command in either Windows or UNIX. It has the same syntax as PROWIN.

Assume that the appdb database is running.

In Windows, to start a multi-user interactive session against appdb, enter:

prowin appdb

In UNIX, to start a multi-user interactive session against appdb, enter:

mpro appdb
