Hi, just a quicky. my experience is with informix but i have just inherited a large progress db that I need to do some queries on.

The main access to the database ( other than through the application) is business objects, but other than being a day out of date the current universes are somewhat limited.

Now on or informix stuff I'd just drop out to the unix shell and load up dbaccess have a look at the table structure than hack out some sql and run that in dbaccess to extract the info i want to either screen,file or printer.

Is there an app such as this that ships with progress, and if so whats it called where does it live.

cheers

tasminracer,
what platform (unix - windose)?
what version of progress?
progress ships with a procedure editor that you can use to write 4gl against the db. to see db / table structure there is also you can run a report from the editor.
post back & i'll see if i can help.
regards,
longhair
