Bind Manager

States of the Bind Manager

Area	Description
`Type`	Specifies to make changes for All Object Bindings in the list or only the Selected Object Bindings.
`Bindings List`	Lists all of the Object Bindings that match the `From` for the specified `Change Item`. If `Change Item` is Database and From contains pubs2, all of the Object Bindings whose database is pubs2 will be in the `Bindings List`.
`Change Item`	`Change Item` is what the developer wishes to change in the `Bindings List`. Example: Database. See Change Item Option Menu for a list of options.
`From`	Value the developer wishes to change from.
`To`	The value to be changed to.
`Controls`	There are four pushButtons controlling the Bind Manager. See the Bind Manager Controls section for more information.

Option	Description
`Vendor`	Permits changes between Sybase, Oracle and Informix. When performing this change, The From and To values must be either SYB for Sybase, ORA for Oracle or INF for Informix.
`Server`	Permits Server names to be changed.
`Database`	Permits database names to be changed.
`Owner`	Permits the Owner for bound objects to be changed.
`Object`	Permits Object names to be changed.

: 1. Make sure the To item exists and is equivalent to the From item. For instance, if database name is changed, the new database must have the same Data Objects as the old one and they must accept the same arguments and return the same information. If this is not true, your CGI executable will behave unpredictably.
: 2. It is sometimes necessary to alter more than one item to make a viable change. If you change Vendor From SYB To ORA, the server must also be changed To ORACLE, in order for the change to be valid.

Option	Description
`Ok`	Makes the specified change and updates the appropriate Sapphire/Web interfaces. Once the changes are complete, the Bind Manager pops down.
`Filter`	When a new value is typed in the `From` textField and the `Filter` button is clicked on, the `Bindings List` gets updated to display only the Object Bindings whose `Change Item` matches the `From` value.
`Apply`	Does the same as the `Ok` button, except the Bind Manager does not pop down.
`Close`	Closes the Bind Manager.
