DBchange/V is the interactive utility that allows dynamic
restructuring and capacity expansion of a TurboIMAGE database.
Database changes are input using a menu format and executed
either on-line or in batch mode.
DBchange/V allows easy screen access and input of database
restructuring requests for TurboIMAGE databases.
Because multiple restructuring changes can be requested during
one DBchange/V session, there is no need to run separate programs
for each restructure feature.
DBchange/V allows you to review multiple change requests before
actual updates are processed.
DBchange/V provides the database administrator with an important
tool to aid in the use and support of TurboIMAGE databases.
Additional benefits include ease of use and batch capabilities.
DBchange/V also includes the DICTDBA, DICTDBU, and DICTDBL database
utilities, which facilitate the control,
maintenance, and restructuring of TurboIMAGE databases.
Key DBchange/V Features |
 |
Key DBchange features include:
Interactive forms access allows flexible database manipulation.
Two-stage update process allows input and review of changes before actual update.
Multiple changes can be made to the same database in one DBchange/V session.
Database restructure requests are input and stored in a change file. DBchange/V uses the change file to process database modifications.
Modifications can be processed immediately or scheduled for later batch processing.
TurboIMAGE database modifications can be made in real-time, without requiring a DBUNLOAD and DBLOAD.
On-line help facility provides information about commands and parameter requirements.
The Root File is checked for path information inconsistencies, allowing DBchange/V the option to make corrections.
Interactive DBchange/V commands allow the user to:
Change set capacity and blocking factors
All TurboIMAGE and MPE file security and capacities are
respected. DBchange/V verifies that the user has proper access before it
allows changes.
DICTDBA |
|
DICTDBA checks the integrity of
synonym chains and identifies broken chains.
It generates reports on synonyms and chains for master sets and
chain statistics for detail sets.
DICTDBU |
|
DICTDBU unloads the contents of an existing TurboIMAGE database.
It can unload the database chained to either a disc or tape file,
thus organizing the records for efficient chained access.
DICTDBU also provides the capability to unload only selected data
sets.
DICTDBL |
|
DICTDBL loads the stored contents of a TurboIMAGE database.
It simplifies and speeds up the database load function when only
a few sets must be loaded.
