About DBEdit

DBEdit is a Trapeze utility that manages databases used by Trapeze software.

DBEdit allows you to:

  • Compare the Trapeze database with your database to ensure that they are structurally compatible.
  • Edit the data structure.
  • Import data.
  • Create, edit, and execute data queries.

DBEdit supports importing and exporting data to/from Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access, and Oracle. If your site does not have a database, you must create an empty database in either Oracle or Microsoft SQL. For more information, refer to the documentation for those applications.

Importing or exporting to or from a Microsoft Access database has the following limitations:

  • While DBEdit supports Triggers, Views, and Stored Procedures, Microsoft Access does not support these procedures. If a table contains Triggers, the table will be created in Microsoft Access without them. This is useful when you only want to export the data to Microsoft Access.
  • Some database tables may not be created because they contain column names that are reserved words in Microsoft Access.
  • Permission granting will not be applied when connected to Access.
Note: Since DBEdit involves working with the database structure, please consult a Trapeze representative when using DBEdit and if you have not already done so, create a backup copy of your database.

Exercise caution when using this utility to avoid inadvertently deleting or causing your data to be lost or corrupted.
