Perform the Query from This Computer

This option will access the Inventory database on
the specified database server and export the
data in to a comma-separated value (CSV) file.
Perform the Query on a Remote Server

From the server console, run dbexport.ncf on Novell® NetWare®
servers or dbexport.bat on Windows* 2000
servers. Type
dbexport configuration_filename.exp csv_filename.csv
where configuration_filename.exp is an existing file that
contains the data export settings.
The data exported from the database will be stored in the
csv_filename.csv file.
