- This is a monthly posting from Dave Snyder, keeper of db4glgen. Although
- this is probably old information for alot of you, I find that about once
- a month or so, I'm asked, "What is db4glgen?"... "Where can I get dbinfo?"
- Well here are descriptions of all the Informix tools that I've written
- and how to get them. Please send all questions and comments about this
- posting or my Informix tools to dave@das13.snide.com (das13!dave).
-
-
-
- db4glgen
-
- This program is the PD Informix 4GL code generator hacked together by
- Dave Snyder.
-
-
- dbbeauty
-
- This program will capitalize all Informix key words in an Informix-4GL program.
- Comments and keywords inside double quotes will not be changed.
-
-
- dberror
-
- This program prints the error message for an Informix-SQL error code. It
- also handles ALL-II and SystemV error codes.
-
-
- dbform
-
- This package generates "quick & dirty" data forms. It requires that
- Informix-SQL be installed on your machine.
-
-
- dbinfo
-
- This program provides information about an Informix-SQL table. It formats it's
- output like the SQL command "info".
-
-
- dblist
-
- This program dumps the contents of an Informix-SQL table to stdout. It has the
- ability to select an index to sort by and also provides the ability to start at
- a specific place in the file.
-
-
- dbloader & dbunloader
-
- This program generates SQL statements to load "unloaded" Informix-SQL tables
- into a database. When compiled, dbloader should be linked to dbunloader. The
- dbunloader program generates SQL statements to unload Informix-SQL tables.
-
-
- dblookup
-
- This package generates 4GL code and 4GL forms for pop-up style lookup
- windows.
-
-
- dbports.sh
-
- This archive contains two shell scripts... dbexport and dbimport. If you
- have Informix 4.00 products then you don't need these scripts. DBEXPORT
- will create a database schema, unload all tables in your database, and create
- a script to re-load the unloaded tables. DBIMPORT will create a database
- with tables from the schema and load all the tables. These scripts require
- dbschema (from Informix) and dbloader/dbunloader (from archive-server).
-
-
- dbrepair
-
- This program will update the "dirpath" column of the Informix-SQL table
- "systables" from an absolute path name to a relative one. This can only
- be used if your database engine is Informix-SE.
-
-
- dbreserved
-
- This program will scan an Informix-SQL table and print all reserved words to
- stdout. There are currently 400+ words that are checked.
-
-
-
- The above programs are available from the machines "das13" and "mathcs".
-
- You can reach "das13" through the archive-server or ANONUUCP (ANONFTP is
- available through "mathcs.emory.edu"), the info you need follows...
-
- ANONFTP:
- If you've never used anonymous ftp, here is a quick primer, in the form
- of a sample session, with comments in {}. Lines with a "<<<" at the end
- are where you type something.
-
- % ftp mathcs.emory.edu {IP Address = 128.140.2.1} <<<
- Connected to mathcs.emory.edu.
- 220 emory FTP server (SunOS 4.1) ready.
