Purpose
Exports a set of Data Dictionaries or a set of Teradata Databases to a file containing all object details for table objects managed by Unity.
Syntax
DICTIONARY EXPORT <dictionaryname1>[…, <dictionarynameN>] FILE[=] <exportfilename> ;Parameters
- DATABASES
- Specifies a database-based export that requires the name of one or more databases to export. Unity exports all table objects in the databases you list.
- dictionaryname
- Name of a Unity Data Dictionary that exists in the Unity repository.
- exportfilename
- Name of the file, including file path, to which Unity exports the table objects.
- FILE
- Specifies the file and location in which to save table objects and Unity Data Dictionary information.
Usage Considerations
Use a comma to separate multiple database or dictionary names in a list. You must specify a Unity Data Dictionary or Teradata Database from which table objects are exported and also the file location and name where you want the exported table objects stored.
Example
unityadmin> DICTIONARY EXPORT luna FILE=solarsystem.txt;
