Selective dumping is the process of taking a part of a database and writing it out as a t2lincks text file which can be reloaded into this or another database. This is the only method available to extract the database information in a structured manner so that it can be moved to another database.
The selective dumping facility is invoked by the command menu DBDump button, which presupposes a prior selection in a dump file description object. The dump file description object tells which file to dump to as well what the dump file should contain.
