MKDUMP Utility

Creates a set of file dump and file load procedures for a database.

SYNTAX

mkdump database-name 

PARAMETERS AND QUALIFIERS

database-name

The name of the database for which you want to create dump and load procedures.

NOTE

EXAMPLE

Sample MKDUMP Command:

mkdump mydb 

This command creates two main Progress procedures: filedump.p and fileload.p. In addition, it creates two subdirectories: dmpprocs and ldprocs. The dmpprocs subdirectory contains a single dump procedure for each file in the database; the ldprocs subdirectory contains a single load procedure for each file in the database.

An end user runs the filedump.p procedure to dump the database. That procedure runs the procedures in the dmpprocs subdirectory. To load the database, the user runs fileload.p, which runs the procedures in the ldprocs subdirectory.
