Elevates autostarted database server executables automatically on Windows Vista.

Usage

Windows Vista only

Values

YES, NO

Default

NO

Remarks

You can specify ELEVATE=YES in your connection string so that autostarted database server executables are elevated. This allows non-elevated client processes to autostart elevated servers, which is necessary on Windows Vista because non-elevated servers cannot use AWE memory. This parameter is ignored if the database server is not autostarted. You must specify the -cw option when starting the database server command to use an AWE cache.

Example

The following connection string fragment causes autostarted database servers to be elevated on Windows Vista so that they can use an AWE cache:
