Accessing the Data Dictionary

Before any Progress tool can work with a database, you must connect to that database. Connecting a database means that Progress opens the database file and has access to the schema and data from the file.

Note that while you work with the Data Dictionary, you cannot work with the tool you started the Data Dictionary from (the Desktop or the Procedure Editor), although it remains open.
