Database_Name Initialization Variable

Sets the name of the current VSS database as displayed on the VSS Explorer title bar. Available in the SRCSAFE.INI file only.

Note   If you want to use Database Name, either do so before anyone runs VSS or have users delete the listing from their registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SourceSafe\Databases, then start a new session of VSS.

Syntax

Database_Name = character string

Example

Sets the database name to "Information Services":

Database_Name = Information Services

Remarks

Using a product name, project code name, or other descriptive project-oriented label is most appropriate when choosing a database name. If undefined, the VSS Explorer title bar contains the last point of the path to an installation. For example, the title bar for an installation at \\server\share\SS5.0 will contain SS5.0. Note that if the folder name is VSS, the title bar uses the share name instead.
