It looks like those resources have been removed.

It would be helpful if you provided some details, e.g. a directory listing of your backup file location, the command lines you are typing and the DLC version you are using to do so, the resulting messages/errors, etc.

Try adding a quit. as the last statement in the procedure.

This means that some process is currently connected to the database. It could be a single-user client session or a utility, for example the compiler session you mentioned. This command line assumes the database is open in multi-user mode, i.e. that a broker has been started for the database...

Sure. You can also add "no-lock" after "for each table", and an actual condition, and white space, etc. It was meant to be conceptual pseudocode, not an ABL programming tutorial.

To programmatically create the table and then load data into it, you could use the prodict/load_df.p and prodict/load_d.p routines from the Data Dictionary code. More info: Progress KB - How to programmatically dump and load database definitions (.df's) and data (.d's) files using Data...

A DBI file is created by a SQL server to store query results during a query. I don't know if you can prevent it but you can change its location by specifying the -T <directory> (temp directory) parameter on your SQL broker, so at least these files won't fill up your database partition.

You could count them yourself: define variable i as integer no-undo. for each table where condition: // stuff i = i + 1. end. display i. For a scrolling query (subject to documented conditions), there is a num-results function. A dynamic query handle has a num-results attribute. You can...

Date data type range: 1/1/32768 B.C. to 12/31/32767 A.D. https://docs.progress.com/bundle/openedge-database-management-117/page/Data-types-and-values.html The century chosen for date values with a two-digit year format is governed by the -yy startup parameter...

This is not a Photoshop support forum.

Programmatically: for each dictdb._file no-lock where _file._tbl-type = 't' by _file-name: find dictdb._storageobject no-lock where _storageobject._db-recid = _file._db-recid and _storageobject._object-number = _file._file-number...

When you say "location", do you mean where a table is located within the database (i.e. its storage area) or the physical location(s) on disk? Also, I don't know what you mean by "custom" in this context. A simple way to find table locations is to run a dbanalys or tabanalys report: proutil...

It shows interactions with the OS, i.e. invocations of API functions, across a variety of classes: process and thread events, network events, registry events, and file system events. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's quite a powerful tool and there's a fair bit of information online...
