 List of Named Databases                             Help 1 of 1
  This screen displays the database names that are currently
 defined in the DBNAMES.CFG file. A named database definition
 consists of a name, a dictionary location, and up to eight data
 file locations.
 WARNING: If you have defined referential integrity constraints
          for a database, please refer to the "Btrieve
          Installation and Operation" manual before using the
          Delete or Modify option.

 Cache Allocation                         Help 1 of 1
  Specify the size of the cache to be allocated by
 NetWare Btrieve. For best performance, allocate a
 cache size equal to the sum of the sizes of the
 files you are using. Allocating a cache size
 exceeding this sum does not increase performance and
 wastes memory.

 Selecting a Conversion Method                            Help 1 of 1
  Select a conversion method. The default is PRIMARY, which is the
 recommended method because it clones the files, drops the indexes,

 method but is available in case the PRIMARY method fails.
