Group Information

The following section describes the fields of the sqlhosts file for groups.

Database Server Group

A database server group allows you to treat multiple related database servers entries as one logical entity to establish or change client/server connections. You can also use dbserver groups to simplify the redirection of connections to database servers. For more information on database server groups, see Group Option.

Group Keyword in the Connection-Type Field

The group keyword begins a list of coservers that are part of the database server. When a client connects to the database server using the database server name, the database server selects a coserver on which to establish the client connection.
