ODBC database command-line utility (dpdbadmin)

The ODBC database command-line utility (dpdbadmin) performs several tasks needed at various times during installation and upgrade, or afterward for maintenance. Some of the commands are run automatically by the installation program, while others are run manually. The commands that are run automatically can also be run manually, for example to troubleshoot why the installation is not succeeding.

dpdbadmin only retrieves tables that are owned by the calling user. For this reason, you need to use either the table owner user to call dpdbadmin, or use consistently the same user for database schema creation, update, and/or validation.

To run the dpdbadmin utility, you need to copy dpdbadmin.exe to the computer from which the ODBC database can be accessed. You can retrieve dpdbadmin.exe from the product installation CD or the installation folder (by default %PROGRAMFILES%\VASCO\IDENTIKEY Authentication Server).
