Specifies whether the exported format of the database is compatible with a pre-Version 3.0 Oracle Rdb database (WITH NOEXTENSIONS), or with an Oracle Rdb database created with Version 3.0 Oracle Rdb software or higher (WITH EXTENSIONS). The default is WITH EXTENSIONS. The WITH EXTENSIONS option also directs Oracle Rdb to preserve other parameters about the physical structure of the exported database. Use WITH NOEXTENSIONS when you export a database that you plan to import on pre-Version 3.0 Oracle Rdb software. When you specify the WITH NOEXTENSIONS option, null flags for missing value fields are not exported, therefore numeric missing values are replaced by zeros and character missing values are replaced by blanks. Note also that when you specify the WITH NOEXTENSIONS option, features of Version 3.0 and higher Oracle Rdb databases are not exported. Storage maps, triggers, and collating sequences, for example, are not backed up when you specify the WITH NOEXTENSIONS option. The WITH NOEXTENSIONS option is not compatible with data dictionary databases (CDD$DATABASE.RDB). If you attempt to export a CDD$DATABASE.RDB database, RDO issues an error message stating that the NOEXTENSIONS option is not valid for data dictionary databases.
