Creating an Empty Database In a Particular Code Page
Here is another technique for producing an empty database in a particular code. The technique is included here for completeness. To create an empty database with a code page, follow these steps:
- Create an empty database, using the Progress Data Dictionary utility.
- Within the Progress distribution, select the
DLC/prolang
directory for the target locale.For example, the
DLC/prolang/cze
directory contains files used for Czech databases,
while theDLC/prolang/utf
directory contains files used for Unicode UTF–8 databases.- Within the
DLC/prolang
directory you selected, select the collation data definition (.df
) file whose name corresponds to the target locale.These
.df
files define database collations (as opposed to.df
files that define database schemas). For example, theDLC/prolang/cze
directory contains the following collation data definition files:- Confirm the collation name of the
.df
file you selected in Step 3 by viewing its contents using a text editor. Search for the COLLATION-NAME keyword. The character string that follows is the name of the.df
file’s collation.- Load the
.df
file whose collation name you confirmed in Step 4 into the empty database you created in Step 1 using the following steps:
- Using the Data Administration tool, choose Admin
Load Data and Definitions (
.df
file). The Load Data Definitions dialog box appears.NOTE: The Data Administration tool calls- Enter the name of the data definition file into the Input File field, then choose OK.
.df
files collation tables. The default is_tran.df
.- Rebuild the database’s indexes by running the PROUTIL utility with the IDXBUILD qualifier. The syntax is:
For the complete syntax of the PROUTIL utility, see the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference .
The empty database is now associated with the desired code page.
