DATABASE_PATH



	DATABASE_PATH()

Description

The DATABASE_PATH function returns the complete pathname of the current database. The current database can be modified using the USE DATABASE command. By default, the current database is the main 4D database.

The pathname returned is in the POSIX format.

Example

Let us suppose that the current external database is named TestBase.4DB and is located in the "C:\MyDatabases" folder. After execution of the following code:

 C_TEXT($vCrtDatabasePath)

 Begin SQL

    SELECT DATABASE_PATH()

    FROM _USER_SCHEMAS

    LIMIT 1

    INTO :$vCrtDatabasePath;

 End SQL

... the $vCrtDatabasePath variable will contain "C:/MyDatabases/TestBase.4DB”.
