GOAL:
Is it necessary before a Progress Restore to recreate the structure of the DB?
GOAL:
Should I create a new structure before restauring my Database?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10
FIX:
There is no need to recreate structure of a database before restoring it with prorest.
However the only reason you may need to recreate a structure of the DB is that you need to restructure your DB for maintenance reasons example you need to add more extents. In which case, ensure that there is a database structure file (<dbname>.st) placed where the Control Area will be placed (<dbname>).db, with the full path extentions to each extent. During the prorest, the database will first be extended to the definition of the structure file found, then restored block by block from the probkup that was taken earlier.
