I have some questions.
Please give me info.

1: When I use "append" command as such situation below..

	monitor -TN -c "append ***** " dbname
	or
	monitor -TN -c " ***** " dbname

	Any method for inserting the filename or script in ***** ?

2: How to add/delete the attribute from the class?
	If can't, I have only way [remodify the class] ?
	so,how to copy the data in attribute ? > question 3		

3: When I add the new attribute in the class,
	Any method for copy the old attribute data 
	to the new"same"attribute ?
	for example..

   [old]	class   |  attribute (data)
   -------------------------------------------
		EMP	| name = "Joe","Sam","Bill"
			| salary = 1000,2000

   [new]	class	|  attribute (data)
   -------------------------------------------
		EMP	| name = ""
			| salary = ""
			| age = ""	/* new added attribute */

	The data in old attribute(name,salary) move in
	new "same name" attribute, HOW?

i would use the copy command here, since that (1) does all of the
insertions in a single transaction and (2) is used with an input file.

you can add attributes using "addattr".  you can't remove attributes.
you can dump the data out and load it back into a new class, of
course, but then the oids of each row won't be the same.

if i understand the question, then this is what always happens when
using "addattr" (old rows keep their old attribute values and have
null values in the new attributes).
