Importing Databases

Instead of merging separate databases, you can import databases. Use the sb_init file to read more than one database. You can start browsing in the same directory that holds the sb_init file.

To import databases:

1. Identify where your sb_init file resides.

2. Add an import command to the sb_init file for each directory in which the compiler is executed:

   import absolute_or_relative_pathname

3. Set your SUNPRO_SB_INIT_FILE_NAME environment variable to point to your sb_init file.

   Add the following line to your .login file:

   setenv SUNPRO_SB_INIT_FILE_NAME path to sb_init file/sb_init

Use the import option to search your entire source tree for source files and browser databases. Just add an import command to the sb_init file for each directory in your source tree.

Because pattern searching uses sb_init to search source files in multiple directories, and source browsing uses sb_init to search browser databases (which include object files) in multiple directories, you may want to include import commands for both source and object directories in your sb_init file.
