Developer’s Toolkit


Dumping and Loading

You have to supply a facility to dump and reload the application database. Your users need a dump and reload facility to:

The Progress 4GL Development System, ProVISION, ProVISION Plus, and WebSpeed products all provide full dump/load capabilities via either the GUI Data Administration Tool, Character Data Dictionary Tool, or command line PROUTIL utility. For more information about these capabilities, see the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference. Other Progress products provide less complete dump/load capabilities. Other Progress products such as Query Results provide less complete dump/load capabilities.

NOTE: Progress Software recommends you use binary dump and load instead of MKDUMP when moving table contents. Refer to the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference for more information about binary dump and load, and loading of sequence values.

The Progress Developer’s Toolkit includes sample utilities that you can use to create your own dump/load facility. This section covers these samples and explains how to modify them for your own use.
