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 Extract dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the options that you require. For details about completing the Extract dialog, see "Extracting Your Schema", in Chapter 10 of the Development Environment User's Guide.

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.ddx.

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

s:\jade\test\bin
