It was written to help new users to get started. The answer to your specific problem below is the '# Filtered' comment on the "source:" line. The update program will not accept updates with filtered query output. You may also want to check your database naming as you have used nic-hdls like AA1-TEST with a source of SAMPLE. Maybe these should both be either TEST or SAMPLE. -- Regards, Denis Walker RIPE Database Administration On Tue, 9 Jan 2007 10:44:19 +0530, Linux Baby wrote: * hi, * Can you give me one example for dbupdate command to * create/delete/update * objects using commandline/webinterface. * * regards * Karthikeyan.N </blockquote></div>
