Elevate connection parameter

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.
