The Database Administration Tool is tool used for dumping and loading data and definitions, exchanging definition information from non-OpenEdge data sources, defining application security and permissions, and importing and exporting data from a variety of sources.

To start the Database Administration Tool, select OpenEdge > Admin > Database Administration from the menu bar in any OpenEdge perspective except DB Navigator and Debug.

When started, the Database Administration tool runs in a window outside the Progress Developer Studio Eclipse framework. Online help is available from the tool's menu bar.
