Hi Phil,

Has anyone had a problem with SCID returning duplicate results when you search for players names? I'm currently running a 2.3+ million games database, but when I search for 1 player (that I know only has maybe 1 game) I suddenly get 7 or 8 results, all the same game. Not a big deal, unless I search for a players name and it comes back with too many games.

By "returning" you mean "showing up in the game list"?

Just to be sure: do you once in a while "compact" your database (after having created a back up first)?

When you delete a game (e.g. remove a duplicate), scid only sets a "deleted" flag in the game's administration. The game is still there (and may show up in the game list and can be undeleted) until the database is compacted.

If this is not the thingy: I never noticed this problem (that I would call a no-deal, since it means something is really wrong).

Cheers,
Joost.

Also when I check the collection the duped games don't show up (checking #'s of games the search dupes). Anyhow, hope everyone can understand my problem (BTW: if anyone wants the database, let me know).
