Converting a Progress Database To UTF-8
Using Dump and Load

To convert a Progress database to UTF-8 using the DUMP and LOAD utilities:

CAUTION: Before you begin, back up your database.
  1. Dump the schema and data of the existing database using the Data Administration utility.
    (From the Procedure Editor main menu, select Tools Data Administration Admin Dump Data and Definitions.)
  2. Create a new, empty UTF-8 database using the syntax for your operating system:
  3. Windows Syntax
    UNIX Syntax
    prodb database-name
      %DLC%\prolang\utf\empty.db 
    
    prodb database-name
      $DLC/prolang/utf/empty.db 
    

  4. Compile, store, and apply the UTF-8 word-break rules to the database. For complete instructions, see the "Compiling, Storing, and Applying the UTF-8 Word-break Rules To a Database" section in this manual.
  5. Load the schema and data to the database using the Data Administration utility.
    (From the Procedure Editor main menu, select Tools Data Administration Admin Load Data and Definitions.)
  6. NOTE: When the data are loaded, the indexes are automatically rebuilt.
