Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Repository Reference

Schema definition files

The Progress Dynamics Repository’s schema changes to support new functionality with each release. Each release of Progress Dynamics ships with several definition (.df) files for the Repository in the src\icf\db\icf\dfd directory. This directory contains a baseline definition file and several incremental definition files.

The baseline definition file is named icfdbfull.df. This is the definition file to use if you are building a new Repository starting with an empty Progress database.

The incremental definition files are named using the convention <dbname><version><type>.df, where:

<dbname> is the name of database, ICFDB in this case.

<version> is the sequential version number of the database, incremented with each change. The version is a six-digit number assigned from the Repository’s seq_ICFDB_DBVersion sequence.

<type> indicates the type of definition file as follows:

erwin — Straight dump from the ERwin model. This is only used for database administration. It is not used for deployment.
delta — Incremental schema changes from the previous icfdbfull.df.
Note: This edition of OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Repository Reference is based on the Repository structure including all changes up through those in icfdb020026delta.df and then through icfdb100002.df. If you have upgraded your Repository to a version that applied higher numbered delta files, check for changes made in those files.
