A time-zone independent g'day to everybody,
I have to move a Progress database (9.1E) from Windows to Linux for first time.
I want to do this without a Dump & Load, but restore a backup from the Windows Progress database in Linux, since I 've understood that a backup file also contains the meta-structures of the database.
So when in Linux I do a
# prostrct create mydb mydb.st -blocksize 4096
(the .st file is copied from Windows and editted, 4096 is the db blocksize in Windows))
Then can I just do a
# prorest mydb /var/backup/windows-backup.du
... and start a fine database on Linux, or do I really need to walk the path of
# prostrct create mydb mydb.st -blocksize 4096
# procopy $DLC/empty4 mydb
And now load the dump made in Progress-Windows?
I am curious to whether the first option is possible.
If so, what advantages do both options have?
Thanks & regards.
