Recovering from a lost or damaged control area

Use the PROSTRCT BUILDDB utility to recover when an existing database control area (DB) is lost or damaged. The utility re-creates a control area from the structure description (.st) file of an existing database. For example:
prostrct builddb db-name structure-description-file
PROSTRCT BUILDDB uses the following parameters:
db-name
Specifies the database you are using.
structure-description-file
Specifies the existing structure description file. If a structure description file is not specified, PROSTRCT BUILDDB assumes the name is db-name.st.
PROSTRCT BUILDDB does minimal validation of the resulting control area.
