Using a Constant Table In Multiple Databases
You can use the Progress Dump and Load utility to copy an existing table from one database into another. For example, instead of writing a procedure to input state data into the state table in a new database, you can dump the table contents from the state table into a copy of the sports database, and then load those records into the state table in another database.
Follow these steps:
- Start a Progress session with the database (the source) that has the table you want to copy.
- Dump the contents of the table you want to copy into a contents file.
- Return to the Progress Procedure Editor.
- Switch from the current working database to the target database.
- With the target database as the working database, load the contents of the table.
