Getting started

Introduction

Before running the Emdros Query Tool for the first time on a database, you need to write a configuration file that matches your database. This is a one-off thing: Once it's done, you don't need to bother with it any more.

Sample configuration file

A number of sample configuration files are supplied with Emdros. You can use these as a starting point for writing your own configuration file.

One supplied configuration file is called "default.cfg", while another is called "wihebrew.cfg". You can search for these on your computer to locate where they are, or see the manual page for eqt to know where they are installed (on Windows, they are installed in %EMDROSINSTALLPREFIX%\etc\).

Full details

The "default.cfg" file is almost self-documenting. However, you can get more information about the details of the configuration file here:
