Our clients have progress 9.1C personal database, running utf-8 version 9 progress
database. We need to update the database schema through a upgrade program which
calls load_df.p
When we run this program we get error number 484, which say's that run-time
and query versions do not support schema updates.
Is progress saying that we cannot update a client database without sending
out the new database format and manually writing programs to dump and reload
data.
Any help would be much appreciated
You can try something like this:
Run a second process of prowin32.exe with the -rx parameter enabled. The -rx
parameter allows data DF changes, but it will not run standard code. After
the data change is made, exit that session to return control to the primary
session.
I do not know if the -rx parameter will allow you to run the load_df.p or not,
but it allows a user to use the admin tools to load a DF with the run-time
version.
