Unload Database menu options

The Unload Database menu options let you unload either the schema or the schema and data from the NBDB or the BMRDB database.

A file is created that can be used to rebuild the database. If the data is also included in the unload, a set of data files in comma-delimited format is created.

The Unload Database menu contains the following options.
