[saravanakumar]

Hi Everybody,
I am new to DB Administration side of Progress 4GL. But i need to restore a backup of DB. I provided the following command;

prorest SportsDBEX.bak Sports.db

It throws an error for me,

proenv>prorest SportsDBEX.bak Sports.db
OpenEdge Release 10.0B as of Fri Aug 6 02:12:54 EDT 2004
** Your database name is longer than 11 characters. (448)
!!! ERROR - Database restore utility FAILED !!! (8564)

proenv>

Can anyone plz help me out??? Thanks in advance.

Hi,


prorest db-name device-name

this is the syntax for prorest.
so try this
prorest Sports.db SportsDBEX.bak ​

and u got the error no 448 means:​

Database names must not be longer than 11 characters so that when .db is appended it is shorter than the UNIX 14 character limit. This limit only applies to the base name, directory qualifications are not counted. For example, multiuserdemo is 13 characters and cannot be used as a database name, but /usr/multiuser/demo is OK. ​
