Opening Database Definition Files in DBEdit

Database definition files (*.dbd and *.db-schema) define the framework used by Trapeze applications as they gather information and store it in your data sources.

Note the location of the database definition files that you want to work with in your file directory.
  1. Navigate to and double-click DBEdit.exe.
    DBEdit is typically found in the Toolkit.
    Use the DBEdit version (32-bit or 64-bit) that works with your data source connection type. For example, ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) or ODBC Data Sources (64-bit). If you are updating the data source to match the *.db-schema or *.dbd files and are using both 32-bit and 64-bit connections, you only need to update the data source once.
    Depending on your system setup, you may need to run the .exe file as Administrator.
    DBEdit appears.
  2. Click File > Open.
    The Open dialog appears.
  3. Browse to the *.db-schema or *.dbd file to compare with the data source.
    For example, MmsData.dbd.
  4. Click Open.
    You can also drag and drop files into the DBEdit window.
    The contents of the selected database are shown in DBEdit.

    Note: If you have previously opened some .dbd files, the files are displayed on separate tabs on the DBEdit screen.
