Hi, I have a question on whether it is do-able to
extract part of the data within Jade Database and run it against another Jade System.

I don't think so. But you could make a little 'intermediate' program to take all the data needed from one schema to another.

Hi

Your question is a little unclear as to what you're trying to acheieve, but there are various ways of transferring database from one system to another.

Firstly, if you just want the data, this is stored in user-defined .dat files and you could move these to another machine, providing the definition of the schema was exactly the same on the other system.

Secondly, JADE provides a dump and load utility that can take data from one system and load it into another system. The intermediate format is text-based (but that doesn't mean you can change it!). While the definitions of the systems are meant to be exactly the same, we've had some success with this in other cases.

So, perhaps you can give us an idea of what you're trying to achieve, and then some of us might be able to help further.

Regards,
Craig.

Oops, I forgot, he said in his other post, "reply me" so I think you better send this post to the guy.
