NAME

qstall - Stabilize a QDDB database.

SYNOPSIS

qstall [-v] [-wait] Relation

DESCRIPTION

qstall performs the functions of qstab(1), qkeys(1) and qindex(1) respectively to stabilize a relation given on the command line. qstall(1) is now the recommended interface for stabilizing qddb databases. If any Qddb application has an open schema and the -wait option was specified, then qstall will wait for the applicaton(s) to close the schema or exit; otherwise, qstall will return immediately with an error message. Using qstab, qkeys , and qindex should only be used with private (single-user) databases.

The -v option selects verbose output; qstall is silent otherwise.
