Overview

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.
