Micro Focus XDBC offers two convenient ways to manage multiple company data sets. For example, you may have two sets of data, one for Company01 and one for Company02. The layouts of the data files are the same, but the file names have different prefixes or suffixes. Rather than setting up individual system catalogs for each company, you can use wild cards (defined in the Micro Focus XDBC configuration file) to identify which company file to access. Alternatively, you can assign table ownership to the different companies, then issue a single query to access all the data files. For instructions on implementing each of these methods, see chapter Using Micro Focus XDBC.
