Dataserver cachefile without Schema holder db

Hello all,

I browsed though a lot of pages on this forum to find if someone allready asked my question but I could not find it so I am posting it myself.

In chapter 4.3.8 of the oracle dataserver guide in the Progress online docs, it looks like it is possible to connect to an oracle database using the dataserver without a schema holder database. This database can be replaced by a cache file based on the schema holder database in the development enviroment.

I can understrand this should only work with compiled code like in a production enviroment.

But whatever I do, I cannot get the connection established without using a schema holder database.
Could anyone tell me if it is or it is not possible to connect to the oracle database by only using a dataserver and the cache file?
If not, what other alternatives are there? I don't want to buy, install and run a workgroup database in the production enviroment.

You need the schema holder dataserver. The difference is if your schema holder doesnt change too often, you can build a cached file schema holder and tell your client to see the cached file and not load it from the schema holder database. Its helps in client startup performance.

So Progress sells you a solution where you still need to buy their workgroup database, even if you are using an other database system?
