SYNTAX
PARAMETERS AND QUALIFIERS
database-name
The name of the database for which you want to create dump and load procedures.
NOTE
- The
filedump.p
andfileload.p
procedures created bymkdump
are meant to run from an application menu inside Progress. If you plan to have end users run these procedures directly from the operating system level, you must first modifyfiledump
andfileload
. Comments in thedumpdb
andreloaddb
scripts or batch files explain these modifications.EXAMPLE
Sample MKDUMP Command:
This command creates two main Progress procedures:
filedump.p
andfileload.p
. In addition, it creates two subdirectories:dmpprocs
andldprocs
. Thedmpprocs
subdirectory contains a single dump procedure for each file in the database; theldprocs
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 thedmpprocs
subdirectory. To load the database, the user runsfileload.p
, which runs the procedures in theldprocs
subdirectory.
