Overview Of Dumping and Loading
You might want to dump and load your database to:
When you dump a database, you must first dump the database or table definitions, and then dump the table contents. The definitions and contents must be in separate files and cannot be dumped in one step. You perform both procedures with the Data Administration tool if you are using a graphical interface, or the Data Dictionary if you are using a character interface.
You can also dump and load the table contents with the PROUTIL command. This option dumps and loads the data in binary format.
4GL tools automatically attempt to disable triggers before performing the dump or load. If you do not have Can-Dump and Can-Load privileges, the 4GL tool asks if you want to dump or load the database without disabling the triggers. See "Maintaining Security," for information about assigning privileges.
