This directory contains the basic installation kit for setting up to
run forms on your server.  You will need to sed or vi these files if you
name your metabase anything other than "metabase".

1.
Pick a database that will be your "metabase", where the fosql control
tables will live.  You must be dbo or sa for that base.

2.

Run this scripts in this order


	numbers.sql	(in any directory where you want auto-numbering tables,
			 if you do not already have your own auto-numbering
			 method in place;  but always in "metabase")

			NB if you use sys10 record numbering you may have
			to make extensive hacks to fosql.  send them to me.
			You should use the fosql method of autonumbering for
			your initial testing, though.
			
		edit this .sql file to use the correct database

		use isql -Usa -Ppassword < numbers.sql


	ddict.sql	(creates table and trigger for data dictionary)

		edit this .sql file to use the correct database
		
		use isql -Usa -Ppassword < ddict.sql


	forms.sql	(creates tables and triggers for forms)

		edit this .sql file to use the correct database
		
		use isql -Usa -Ppassword < forms.sql


	load.data	(loads data using bcp:  you must have bulkcopy enabled
			 in the metabase db, and have access to bcp)

		edit this file to reflect your metabase name and server
		name.

		source load.data


you then need to edit forms -- the launch script.  read the comments 
in the header area of the forms script VERY carefully and edit it
accordingly.
