Data Dictionary For XE

Is there any way to get a copy of the Pristine Data Dictionary for XE on CD or hardcopy? Our IS Manager won't install the Data Dictionary because it requires too much disk space. Everyone using ODA or the Report Writer feels like we are working with blinders on!

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mike

Mike, you can find a copy of the original Xe Data Dictionary tables in
the jdeb7.mdb access database from your Xe Install CD 1/2 . Copy that
file (it may be compressed) on your machine, create a new Datasource
pointing to this file and then copy all DD tables into your database,
some place different from the real data dictionary. Or you may use the
original DD directly from that access database.
Hope this helped, Gerd

Gerd:
Thanks for the information. I will give it a try.
