Client Dump/Load
In Javra IDE, certain changes may be required for adding/deleting new tables or fields within the database. Also there might be addition/deletion of programs. Hence, it is required that a copy of the database is maintained before making any changes to it
For this purpose, dumping of a working database will be required so that a copy of the same database will be made and the entire changes are made within the current database only.
A snapshot of database at a point in time is referred to as a Database Baseline. The Database base line freezes the Schema & Data as the basis of future work. The base line includes:
- Database Structure definition (.st)
- Database Schema definition (.df)
- Bulkloader Description File (.fd)
- Baseline data (*.d) ASCII dump only
- Baseline version identification (baseline.txt)
All the above is saved in Sub Version (SVN) trunk directory.
Once changes are made, you may upload the database. The loading of that database will automatically generate a report which reflects the changes made in the previous database. The figure below displays all the submenus within X/E Dump/Load.
