Export databases

Note

If the database you want to unload is already running, and you start the Unload Database Wizard, the SQL Anywhere 12 plug-in automatically stops the database before you can unload it.

 To unload all or part of a database (Sybase Central)
  1. Choose Tools » SQL Anywhere 12 » Unload Database.

  2. Follow the instructions in the Unload Database Wizard.

 To unload all or part of a database (command line)
  • Run the dbunload utility, and use the -c option to specify the connection parameters.

    To unload the entire database to the directory c:\DataFiles on the server computer:

    dbunload -c "DBN=demo;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" c:\DataFiles

    The statements required to recreate the schema and reload the tables are written to reload.sql in the local current directory.

    To export data only, use -d. For example:

    dbunload -c "DBN=demo;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" -d c:\DataFiles

    The statements required to reload the tables are written to reload.sql in the local current directory.

    To export schema only, use -n. For example:

    dbunload -c "DBN=demo;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" -n

    The statements required to recreate the schema are written to reload.sql in the local current directory.
