ddbicon.pngDDBuilder: Defining General Data Sources (Superseded)

DDBuilder has been superseded by the BASIS DBMS Data Dictionary module accessible from the BASIS IDE or the Enterprise Manager. Recommended for usage with ODBC/JDBC access to PRO/5, Visual PRO/5, BBj application data. DDBuilder is no longer included in the BBj download package as of version 12.0 but can be downloaded with Visual PRO/5.

This section explains how to create general data sources. It describes how to define the general attributes for tables, and columns, and explains how to create table indices. By entering all the necessary information for each table, column, and index, data sources can be created for use with PRO/5, BBxPROGRESSION/ 4, TAOS, and the BASIS ODBC Driver.

To define a data source, first define thetableattributes, then define the required column attributes, and finally define at least one index for MKEYED, DIRECT, C-ISAM, and SORT files.
