Hi Everyone,
Am Very New To Progress Database...
My Doubt Is
"when We Dump A Table In Progress It Will Be Created With .df Extension.....whether It Is Created By Default Or Any Specific Reason Is There"
(not Having Enough Practical Knowledge...am Having A Document.while Reading It I Got This Doubt)

Waiting For Your Kind Reply
 
I'm sorry but your question is unclear.

A .df file is a "definitions" file. It contains the "DDL" used by the data dictionary to create tables, fields and indexes. You generally create one of these files using the data dictionary when you want to export the definitions of tables, fields or indexes to some other database. You then use the data dictionary on the target system to apply the DDL to that system to get the new stuff added.
 
And, if you dump the contents of a table, it gets a .d extension. Nothing magic about either one, but it is the Progress convention.
