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.
