Extracting an External Database Schema

You can extract an external database schema as part of the schema in which it is defined or you can extract only the external database schema itself.

To extract an external database schema only

1. In the External Databases Browser, select the external database schema that you want to extract.

2. Select the Extract command from the Databases menu. The common File Save dialog is then displayed.

3. Change the default file path and names, if required, and then click the OK button.

   By default, your external database schema is extracted as .scm and .ddb or .ddx files that are prefixed with the name of your external database schema; for example, ExtDb.scm and ExtDb.ddb.

   These files are extracted to your JADE working directory by default; for example:

   s:\jade\test\bin

For details about extracting the external database schema as part of the schema in which it is defined, see "Extracting Your Schema", in Chapter 10 of the JADE Development Environment User’s Guide.
