Re: dbexport brain-dead?

Opps! Looks like my mistake here. FYI: With `dbexport` the "-d" option means to export blob descriptors, but not blob data. Seems that if there are no blobs, it says that there is a syntax error, rather than reporting that there are no blobs, or just not printing any blob info. Now, why would I think that the "-d" would be for indicating the database??? :-) David Williams wrote: > In article <33F2D828.AF5E13BC@echonyc.com>, Cosmo Lee <*NO- > SPAM*cosmo@echonyc.com> writes > >I've just been trying to export a database with `dbexport`.
