BTW, one of the features of DEC Rdb/VMS that I used to like was the
"$RMU/EXTRACT" feature.

This command would examine the system tables of a database and create an entire CREATE script that would
create the database, and all the CREATE commands needed to set up database
objects, schemas, and schema objects inside it. The create script was SQL DDL (DEC Rdb dialect). So "reverse engineering" an Rdb database was like shooting fish in a barrel, if you knew how to RTFM. Received on Thu Oct 21 2004 - 18:20:08 CEST
