Hi,

I have a progress database but i wanna make a new empty database whit the same database structure as i now running. I have only the *.db, *.bi, *.pf and the *.lg file thats all i have. The database is used by an program such like MFG/pro, so i need te keep the structure, because starting a whole new database doesn't work. Anyone could help me ? I'm new in progress so: :confused:
 
Hi,

please tell us your progress version and your OS in your message.

To create an "empty" DB follow these steps:
- connect to the original DB
- in data admnistration dump the definition file (.df) and the sequences definitions
- in data dictionnary create a new DB from an empty one
- connect to the new db
- in data admin load the def file and the seq def.

Depending on your progress version you migth have CRC differences between the old and the new DB but y'ou don't tell us the goal you want to reach perhaps there is no problem with this kind of behaviour if you don't want to use the same program against the new db...


Stéphane.
