- Marco:
- I've been using the COPYDB instruction. This instuction produces 2 SQL
- scripts: 1) to copy the data out, 2) to allow the data to be copied back
- into the database along with the supporting views and grants.
- The data and scripts are then copied to backup tapes as other flat
- files/tables are. The COPYDB command has several options available so that
- you can tailor it to your needs.
- Hope this helps.
