Introduction
The updateSQL.pl
utility is a Perl script that allows you to convert an Access component
database (accessdb for WebZ and rbdb
for Record Builder) used in SiteSearch 4.1.1 to the new table structure
used in SiteSearch 4.1.2. updateSQL.pl calls a number of other Perl scripts
to perform the conversion.
You normally run
this utility during a SiteSearch 4.1.2 upgrade,
although you can run it at any time as long as you still have a 4.1.1
version of accessdb or rbdb available and a way to create a dump file
of these databases.
Document
Conventions
- <WebZ_root>
refers to the location of your installed 4.1.2 SiteSearch environment.
- <WebZ411_root>
refers to the location of the 4.1.1 SiteSearch environment that contains
the Access component database(s) you want to convert to the 4.1.2 table
structure. The SiteSearch 4.1.2 upgrade
procedure refers to this directory as <WebZWork_root>.
File
Location
You can find updateSQL.pl
and its companion scripts (chgAuthos.pl, chgInstData.pl, chgInstTable.pl,
chgText.pl, and chg411DumpFiles.pl) in the <WebZ_root>/scripts
directory.
Syntax
perl updateSQL.pl
dumpfile_name [webz | rb] <nt>

Important
Note:
|
This script
includes a variable that points to your Perl interpreter:
$perlPath =
"/usr/bin/perl";
Edit the
value of this variable if your Perl interpreter resides at a different
location. This script will not run if this variable does not contain
the path to your Perl interpreter.

Parameter

Description
|
|
dumpfile_name
|
Name of
the database dump file that contains the database in version 4.1.1
format. By convention, the file names are accessdb.dump for the
accessdb database and rbdb.dump for the rbdb database, although
you can use any file name you wish.
This file
must exist in one of these directories:
| Operating
System
|
SiteSearch
Component |
| WebZ
|
Record
Builder |
|
UNIX
|
<WebZ_root>/mysql
|
<WebZ_root>/mysql
|
|
WindowsNT
|
<WebZ_root>/accesssql
|
<WebZ_root>/accesssql/rbv0
|
The utility
overwrites this file with the converted database structure and makes
a copy of the original database dump file in dumpfile_name.orig.
|
|
webz
| rb
|
SiteSearch
component to which the database dump file applies:
- webz
for WebZ
- rb
for Record Builder
|
|
nt
|
Optional
parameter that indicates you are converting a Windows NT database.

2. Using
the sample accessdb database shipped with SiteSearch 4.1.2, configure
and then test the Access component for WebZ in your SiteSearch 4.1.2
component (click here for UNIX;
click here for Windows NT).

operating system are you using?
- UNIX:
- Rename
<WebZ_root>/mysql/accessdb.dump with another
name of your choice.
- Rename
<WebZ411_roo/msql/dumpfile_name as accessdb.dump.
This is the data file that contains your patron data.
- Windows
