hello, i have a problem and im desperate.

i have a report in my database that i have to edit but the problem is that i lost the .rdf file. i know my question might be silly but i have to try my luck, is there any way to edit it without the rdf file?

thank you

Your Oracle database version is ...? Actually, as far as I can tell (regarding the .RDF extension), I'm afraid you're helpless.

In older Oracle versions (Report Writer 1.1), it was possible to extract a report from the database, take this .REX (now it is a .RDF) file elsewhere, load it back to the database and/or generate a .REP file.

But I'm not sure whether this can be done in recent Developer versions ...
