Hi Jack,
Thank you for the quick response! I'm a bit confused though....
If I drop the partitions/segments before dumping my database, then I am dropping all of my data in my database. The segments now belong to the qip_infra_partition1 and qip_system_partition1 devices, and contain data.
And I can't drop the devices, since that means I would have to drop the database. Which again, dropping the database would mean getting rid of the data.
I am a software developer, and customer's use our software along with ASE 15.7. The software application data is stored in partitions, which I mapped to specific segments. I am looking for a good solution for customers to use the Sybase database dump and load commands to load their data into a newer version of our software product that has a slightly different device mapping for the segments.
Thanks,
Lisa
