Project Queries

The MDB command puts you into MDB Mode, where you can use a limited number of Monitor commands. This lets you change the current multiple database during a session without having to leave the Module and enter Monitor.

When you enter MDB mode, you can either update the current MDB to save your design changes, or ignore any changes made since your last SAVEWORK command, by specifying UPDATE or NOUPDATE.

When you are in MDB mode, you can give the following commands, which are the same as the corresponding Monitor commands. Refer to Command Summary for further information.


Examples:
MDB UPDATE	Save design changes and enter MDB Mode.
MDB NOUPDATE	Enter MDB Mode without saving design changes.
EXCHANGE DEFER CURRENT	Alter the databases in the current list of the current MDB
PROTECT	Temporarily alters your access rights to specified databases.
USER username	Changes the current user
PROJECT code	Changes the current project
LIST	Allows you to query: Users, including the number of active users, Teams including the set (current) Team, Databases, including copied Databases, MDBs, Macros and Variables
		/PIPING	Change to MDB /PIPING.
		/PIPING READONLY	Change to MDB /PIPING in read-only mode.
		EXIT	Return to MODEL Mode.
