DETAILS When an unload filename is entered in the reload dialog, the system automatically itemises the file to see if it contains more than one copy of the database. This is so it can present the user with a choice rather than simply reloading the oldest and most obsolete copy of the database. If the unload file is larger than the amount of free memory then the itemise can be very slow and so the dialog can take a long time to initialise. The fixed dialog gives the user a choice with the default being to reload the latest copy. The itemise is then done when the user presses ok. EXAMPLE PROGRAM Create an unload file which is bigger than the available free memory either by unloading a large database or unloading a smaller database several times into the one unload file. Then select this unload file in the reload dialog. WORKAROUND Wait for the reload dialog to initialise or use a DBMS command to reload the database.
