You can use the prodb utility to create a new OpenEdge database. This utility copies a source database to a new target database.
Note: To use the prodb utility, you must first start a proenv session.
Note: The prodb utility does not copy the external triggers associated with the database being copied.

Syntax

prodb <new database name> <original database>
If the target database is not in the current directory or in the DLC, then qualify the database name with the absolute or relative path. 
prodb directory-path/<new database> directory-path/<original database>

Example

The following example illustrates how to create an OpenEdge database with prodb.
  1. Start proenv from the following menu path: Start > Progress > proenv
    Note: In UNIX, from the shell prompt run $DLC/bin/proenv.
  2. To create a new database called myNewDB from a copy of the sports2000 database, enter the following:
    prodb myNewDB sports2000
