Overview
The RdbALTER utility provides a low-level patch capability for VAX Rdb/VMS databases. In addition, it allow you to relocate database root, area, and snapshot files to other disks or directories. This is helpful when moving a database from a single node to a VAXcluster environment. You must have the VMS SYSPRV privilege to use RdbALTER. RdbALTER can receive command lines through command files or directly from the user's terminal. Abbreviations can be used for any of the RdbALTER command keywords. The only restriction is that the user must specify enough characters to avoid ambiguity. The semicolon (;) is used to separate multiple commands on a single input line. Semicolons are unnecessary as the last character on a line. An exclamation point (!) occurring anywhere except within a quoted string is considered to be a comment delimiter. The remainder of the line will be ignored.
