If you want the schema only: dbschema -d database output_file Type in dbschema w/ no parameters to get usage help. If you want the schema, AND all the data loaded, you could use the dbunload and dbload utilities, but I'd reccommend about reading them in the manuals first, especially if the database is of any significant size. ======================================================================= Dennis J.
