Show Information on Databases with infodb
The infodb utility shows administrative details about databases, such as the directory names of data, checkpoint, journal, dump, and work locations. These details are stored in the configuration file.
To use infodb
Issue the following command at the operating system prompt:
infodb
Infodb prints a report for each database in the installation. To restrict the information to a specific database, specify:
infodb dbname
The following is sample output (on Windows) from the Extent directory section, which shows all locations used by the demodb database:
