Just give him the root file or the schema.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Image: Image Data Base Structure

I need to give a TurboImage data base to a consultant, but I cannot give them the proprietary data, only the structure.

My idea is:
   1. TurboStore store the data base on tape.
   2. TurboStore restore the data base to a different volume set
       in a different group account.
   3. Run QUERY > FORM SETS and FORM ITEMS, for the purpose
       of showing the number of occurrences of each item.
   4. Run DBUTIL > ERASE on the copy, which would erase the
       number of occurrences of each item, which is why
       Step 3 was necessary.
   5. Give the QUERY report and data base copy to the consultant.

Questions:
   1. Is this approach sound, i.e. will it work?
   2. Am I doing it correctly?
   3. Are there other ways to give them the structure and 
       number of occurrences?  Utilities I do not know about?
       Third party methods?
