About Adabas The free Adabas database is restricted to a size of 100 MB, and a maximum of three users on a network. See the "License.txt" file in the Adabas directory for more details. The Adabas database must be installed in a separate directory from $[officename]. The name of an Adabas file cannot exceed 8 characters. The path to the Adabas file, including the file name, cannot exceed 30 characters, and must be compliant with the 7-bit ASCII code. Both the path and the file name cannot contain spaces. Under Windows, the Adabas setup application adds the DBROOT environment variable that contains the path information for the database. If the setup application finds this variable, it does not install the database.
