Best way to update DB?

I want to move the contents of our "production" Derby DB to a "Development" Oracle DB.

The Oracle DB is up and running in another instance of RTC. I want to be able to update this DB with the current Derby DB contends from time to time.

My options are with the Repotools: the -copy function or the -export/-import meathods. What works best for this? Or does it matter?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill

There is no way (currently) to add the content of one repository to another as a "merge". You could overwrite the existing content (effectively delete the "development" database and create a new one with the data from the production DB) - but suspect that is not what you want.

If you can create a work item for this here on jazz.net (use the Development menu to Submit a Bug) and describe what you want to do, that would be most helpful (even better if you post the work item # here too :-)

Thanks Anthony,

No, we actually have no need of a merge at this time. I was able to do my stuff with the repotools -import and -export.

Thanks,
