Syntax

SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE(IN BACKUPDIR VARCHAR()) 

No result is returned from the procedure.

BACKUPDIR

An input argument of type VARCHAR(32672) that specifies the path to a directory, where the backup should be stored. Relative paths are resolved based on the current user directory, user.dir, of the JVM where the database backup is occurring. Relative paths are not resolved based on the derby home directory. To avoid confusion, use the absolute path.

JDBC example

CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall
("CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE(?)");
cs.setString(1, "c:/backupdir");
cs.execute();
cs.close();

SQL example

The following example backs up the database to the c:/backupdir directory:
