The dbupgrad utility upgrades a database created with earlier versions of the software to enable features from the current version of the software. The earliest version that can be upgraded is Watcom SQL 3.2. While later versions of the database server do run against databases were created with earlier releases of the software, some of the features introduced since the version that created the database are unavailable unless the database is upgraded.
Exit codes are 0 (success) or non-zero (failure).

This utility accepts @filename parameters. For more information, see @filename server option.
Not all features made availableFeatures that require a physical reorganization of the database file are not made available by dbupgrad. Such features include index enhancements and changes in data storage. To obtain the benefits of these enhancements, you must unload and reload your database.For more information, see Upgrading the database file format. |
By default, Java in the database is not included in new databases. Java in the database is removed from the database during an upgrade if:
the database is Java-enabled, but Java in the database is not being used, and
the Java VM cannot be loaded by the database server, and
you did not specify any Java-related options to the upgrade.
