MODIFY DATABASE Command

Example   See Also

Opens the Database Designer, allowing you to interactively modify the current database.

Syntax

MODIFY DATABASE [DatabaseName | ?]
  [NOWAIT] [NOEDIT]

Arguments

DatabaseName

Specifies the name of the database to modify.

?

Displays the Open dialog box from which you can specify the name of the database to modify.

NOWAIT

Continues program execution after the Database Designer is opened. The program doesn't wait for the Database Designer to be closed, but continues execution on the program line immediately following the line that contains MODIFY DATABASE NOWAIT. If you omit NOWAIT when MODIFY DATABASE is issued in a program, the Database Designer is opened and program execution pauses until the Database Designer is closed.

NOWAIT is effective only from within a program. It has no effect on MODIFY DATABASE when issued from the Command window.

NOEDIT

Prevents changes to the database.

Remarks
