RE: SQL Collection Duplicating a DB

It probably will, especially if there are referential constraints that
preclude adding records to a table when it needs records already
present in a different table. I would bet there are APIs that would
identify the constraints. You could then CPYF the data to the new
tables, and then apply the constraints with the ADDPFCST command. Bet
you could do something similiar with journals, too.
