FreeDBLibraries property for PowerScript controls
Controls
Application
object
Description
Determines whether PowerBuilder libraries are held in memory
after PowerBuilder disconnects from a database.
Usage
Prior to PowerBuilder 8, PowerBuilder automatically freed
database interface libraries when it disconnected from the database.
To enhance performance and resolve process initialization issues
with certain database management systems, PowerBuilder no longer
frees the database interface libraries by default when it disconnects.
The FreeDBLibraries property on the Application object enables you
to force the release of these libraries upon disconnecting from
the database.
This is a runtime property only. To free libraries held in
memory after PowerBuilder disconnects from a database at design
time, select the Free Database Driver Libraries On Disconnect check
box on the General page of the System Options dialog box. Design-time
and runtime libraries are always cleared from memory on shutdown
of PowerBuilder.
For more information on the design-time selection for freeing
database interface libraries, see Connecting to Your Database.
In the application painter
To free PowerBuilder libraries upon disconnecting
from a database:
-
Select the FreeDBLibraries check box on
the General page of the application’s Properties view.
In scripts
The FreeDBLibraries property takes a boolean value. The following
example sets the property to clear memory and release PowerBuilder
libraries after disconnecting from a database at runtime:
