GOAL:
What to do if .db file goes missing.
GOAL:
How to fix a database if the .db file is deleted.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
Use the PROSTRCT BUILDDB utility to recover when an existing database control area (.db) is lost or damaged. The utility re-creates a control area from the structure description (.st) file of an existing database. For example:
prostrct builddb db-name structure-description-file
<db-name> specifies the database you are using.
<structure-description-file> specifies the existing structure description file. If a structure description file is not specified, PROSTRCT BUILDDB assumes the name is db-name.st.
PROSTRCT BUILDDB does only minimal validation of the resulting control area.
