1. What is the best way to reinitialize the database? In the PowerSDR application folder, delete or rename the file powersdr.mdb
2. Under what circumstances should the database be reinitialized? (for example, should it be done every time there's a new SVN update?) Always when a new version is released. For SVN versions, you should review the developer's notes for the changes you are uploading and if database changes have been indicated, a rebuild is recommended. If strange things start happening, rebuild the database 3. I assume the database contains various values that are manually entered by the user (such as the settings for NR, LPT Address, and so forth) as well as those generated by automatic calibration procedures. Is there a way to dump all the values so that there is a easily accessible record of them, or is the recommended procedure to make note of any values that one might want to restore later? You can export an Access DB to a variety of formats, such as spreadsheets, text and CSV to name a few. There is also a database migration tool for those who do not have Access for moving user defined data tables. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Access database structures, then tread lightly using Ray's Database Table Migration Utility (DTMU). Do not migrate tables that contain configuration parameters. The KB article 10381 will provide some insight. The DTMU can be found in the 10046 KB article Review the following KB articles http://kb.flex-radio.com/Article.aspx?id=10381 http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10046 -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Samuel Cartinhour Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 4:31 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Questions about Database Recently several postings have mentioned the database associated with PowerSDR and also noted that it sometimes needs to be wiped clean. I am hoping someone can answer a few questions about this for me. I looked through the Knowledge Base and also the manual and didn't have much luck--apologies to the list in advance if I overlooked the obvious. 1.
