I'm trying to export/import a db and rename it...What I'm trying
to accomplish is to make a copy (eventually several copies).
1) dbexport -o /usr2/informix mumble1
This creates a mumble1.exp
If I use another instance, I can get
dbimport mumble1 to work just fine.
dbimport -i /usr2/informix mumcopy
dbimport -i /usr2/informix/mumble1.exp mumcopy
Both give me
"Cannot open sql script file"
Now, according to the "OnLine Administrator's Guide, v5.0"
p7-9 "You can give the database a new name if you use the
-i option". Of course, it doesn't give an example of how to
do that.
