    Format

      SHOW USED_BY  [ qualifier ] ...   element-name ,...

1  –  Parameters

1.1  –  element-name 

    Specifies the element whose children you are displaying.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /TYPE 

    Format option:

       /TYPE=[ ( type-name ) ] ,...

    Displays only children of the type you specify. This type must
    be the keyword RECORD or FIELD or a type name that is valid for
    this command. Valid types include instances of ELEMENT_TYPE or
    RELATIONSHIP_TYPE; they do not include instances of PROPERTY_
    TYPE.

2.2    /BRIEF_(default) 

    Displays the name, type, and relationship type of immediate
    children. /BRIEF is the default qualifier.

2.3    /FULL 

    Displays the name, type, and relationship type of all children.

3  –  Description 

    The SHOW USED_BY command displays the children of the element you
    specify. The display includes the properties of children and the
    values associated with these properties.

    The SHOW USED_BY command lists children if they have either
    directory or processing names. CDO looks first for the directory
    name and displays it if one exists. If a directory name does not
    exist, CDO then looks for and displays the processing name.

    A definition can only exist in the repository without a directory
    or processing name if it has a relationship to an owner that has
    a directory name. CDO displays a name unspecified message in this
    case.

    To display Oracle Rdb database definitions, specify the name
    of the database as the element-name parameter and use the
    /FULL qualifier. Because CDO displays the full path name of
    each repository element, you can use the SHOW USED_BY command
    to determine where each instance of a particular element occurs
    and how it relates to other elements.

4  –  Examples 

    1.CDO>  SHOW USED_BY EMPLOYEE_DB

      In this example, because no qualifier is specified, the SHOW
      USED_BY command displays the default information (/BRIEF). This
      information includes the names of immediate children of the
      EMPLOYEE_DB database element.

    2.CDO>  SHOW USED_BY /FULL FIELD_A(2)

      In this example, the SHOW USED_BY command with the /FULL
      qualifier displays all children of the FIELD_A(2) field
      element.

    3.CDO>  SHOW USED_BY /FULL /TYPE=(FIELD) EMPLOYEE_REC

      In this example, the SHOW USED_BY command with the /FULL and
      /TYPE qualifiers displays all children of EMPLOYEE_REC that are
      fields.
