To enter parameters for KB initialization.

• Max. token length specifies the max. length of non-hyphenated single NL words. The valid range is 16-256. Shorter maximums give better performance. Longer maximums give a more flexible and better NL interface.
• Max. KB name length specifies the max. length of KB name. The valid range is 5-256. Shorter maximums give better performance. Longer maximums give a more flexibility in assigning KB names.
• Max. realm name length specifies the max. length of realm names. The valid range is 4-256. Shorter maximums give better performance. Longer maximums give more flexibility in naming realms

3KB-TYPE DATABASE SPECIFIC PARAMETERS

• Database identifier specifies the one-letter identifier which will be associated with this KB (database file). The database identifier is case-sensitive, however it is recommended to use only upper-case identifiers to avoid confusion.

• Max. SQL-name lengths specifies the max. length of table- and column-names generated by Pro/3.
• Chain-table name prefix specifies the prefix used in generated chain-table names (the prefix can be blank).
• ST-table name prefix specifies the prefix used in ST-table names (the prefix can be blank) for tables which are generated ad-hoc.
• Blank-substitute specifies an optional replacement string (typically one character long e.g. an underscore) to be used as substitute for blanks when generating SQL-names (table and column names) and file names from NL-names.
• Case specifies whether generated SQL table- and column names and file names, are generated in mixed case, lowercase or uppercase. Note that column names and index names are not case sensitive in MySQL. Table names in MySQL under Windows are not case sensitive either. However, to be best prepared for any future changes in this regard, it is a good idea to use case in a consistent manner.
• Default ST-table database specifies the default database for ad-hoc ST-tables (the KB SQL database will be used if not specified).
• Term-string format i.e. 1 for Pro/3 type term-strings, and 2 for standard Visual Prolog term-strings.
• Max. term-string length specifies the max. permissible size for term-strings representing the conclusion and condition fields (lt and rt columns in the chain tables). The condition-side of sentence rule records can be thousands of characters long when stored as term-strings in the database. The standard value is 10000, but you might have to increase this if you define very complex rules. Pro/3 will report violations of this size limit.
