Loading an External Database Schema

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

To load an external database schema only

1. In the External Databases Browser, select the Load command from the Databases menu.

   The Load Options dialog is then displayed.

2. In the Schema File Name text box, specify the name and location of the external database schema file (.scm file) that you want to load. You must specify a value in this text box.

   If you are unsure of your file name or location, click the Browse button. The common File dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the appropriate file.

3. In the Forms File Name text box, specify the name and location of the extracted form and data definition (.ddb or .ddx) file that you want to load.

   If you are unsure of your file name or location, click the Browse button. The common File dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the appropriate file.

4. Click the OK button to confirm your selections.

   Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

The loading of your external database schema is then initiated.

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