where

T
can be either s11 (for Sybase 11), s10 (for Sybase 10), s4 (for Sybase 4.0 -4.9), or o7 (for Oracle 7), and specifies the target DBMS. If the -t option is not specified, Sybase 11 is assumed by default.

D
is the database device name. If the -d option is not specified, then the default device name is ``default''. (Note that this feature only works for Sybase databases.)

Z
is the size of database in Mb. If the -z option is not specified, then the default size is 10 (Mb). (Note that this feature only works for Sybase databases.)

E
is the error code number used as a basis for error messages in generated stored procedures and triggers. For Sybase, this number must be greater or equal to 17000; if this number is not specified, then the default error code number used as basis is 70000. For Oracle, this number must be between -20000 and -20990; if this number is not specifiied, then the default code number used as basis is -20000. If the -e option is not specified, then the OPM default error messages and procedures are used.

H
can be either n (hooks for user specified code are not needed) or y (hooks for user specified code are needed). If the -h option is not specified, then ``hooks not needed'' is assumed by default. (Note that this feature only works for Sybase databases.)

file
is the input file containing an OPM schema.
