For previous users of the software, the following steps summarize the process for rebuilding your database to version 12.
Back up the database. For example:
dbbackup -c "DBF=mydb.db;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" old-db-backup-dir |
For more information, see Backup quick start.
If possible, defragment the drive where the new database will be stored because a fragmented drive can decrease database performance.
Shut down all SQL Anywhere database servers because the version 12 dbunload utility cannot be used against a database that is running on a previous version of the database server. For example:
dbstop -c "DBF=mydb.db;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" |
Unload and reload (rebuild) the old database into a new version 12 database. For example:
dbunload -c "DBF=mydb.db;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" -an mydb12.db |
Back up the new database before using it. For example:
dbbackup -c "DBF=mydb12.db;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" new-db-backup-dir |
Validate the new database before using it. For example:
dbvalid -c "DBF=mydb12.db;UID=DBA;PWD=sql" |
