GOAL:
Data Administration/Dictionary access with Runtime or Database licences
FIX:
The Data Dictionary and Administration functions and files are
available on ALL Progress client and database products. However, if
you have purchased a "run-time-only" client or just a database product
you may think you cannot access these functionalities.
To access the Data Dictionary and Adminstration functions you must
start your session with the -rx parameter. Using the -rx parameter
will allow you to get to the editor. You can then move to the tool
bar and gain access to the Data Dictionary and Data Adminstration
functions. (Or you can use -rx -p _dict.p to gain access directly
to the dictionary) This will allow you to manage your database schema
and security. The -rx parameter also allows you to compile encrypted
code.
Examples
--------
_progres -rx (for UNIX)
prowin32.exe -rx -p _dict.p (for Windows)
There are limitations to this access though. You canNOT load or dump
data through the Adminstration. There are several ways to get data
into your database though.
1) you can use precompiled 4GL code to load data (supplied by an AP).
2) you can use the bulkload and index rebuild utility.
3) you can use a progress client with compile capabilities (4GL or
ProVision).
