Using the Database Utilities

8 Using the Database Utilities

The TurboIMAGE/XL utilities create and initialize the database ﬁles and perform various

maintenance functions, such as restructuring a database. This chapter discusses these

utilities and the syntax of each utility.

You must be the database creator to execute the >>CREATE command of the DBUTIL utility

program or to change or remove the maintenance word with the DBUTIL >>SET command.

The database creator is deﬁned by the logon group and account that was used when the

Schema Processor created the root ﬁle. To operate the other utilities or to enter other

DBUTIL commands (with the exception of the >>SHOW command), you need not be the

database creator provided you know the maintenance word. If no maintenance word is

deﬁned, only the database creator can execute the other utilities and the DBUTIL

commands that require a maintenance word. The exception to this rule is that a user with

system manager (SM) capability can execute the DBUTIL >>SHOW command on any

database without having to supply the maintenance word.
