Description

ssxtract is the extraction utility for Adaptive Server Enterprise. It is run

 

against a Adaptive Server Enterprise and creates a command file for a

 

remote Adaptive Server Anywhere database.

 

dbxtract is the extraction utility for Adaptive Server Anywhere. It is run

 

against an Adaptive Server Anywhere database and creates a command file

 

for a remote Adaptive Server Anywhere database.

 

There is no extraction utility to create remote Adaptive Server Enterprise

 

databases.

 

The extraction utility creates a command file and a set of associated data

 

files. The command file can be run against a newly-initialized Adaptive

 

Server Anywhere database to create the database objects and load the data

 

for the remote database.

 

By default, the command file is named reload.sql.

 

If the remote user is a group, then all the user IDs that are members of that

 

group are extracted. This allows multiple users on a remote database with

 

different user IDs, without requiring a custom extraction process.
