Section 2: DocSTAR v2.3x Database and Index Utilities
? This section will cover the design & function of the DocSTAR Database and Full-Text
Index utilities.
What utilities are available for the Database and Full-Text Index?
*As is the case with all DocSTAR repairs, please be cautious in dealing with the
Database and Full Text Index. ALWAYS confirm that you have a current backup
copy of the Database and Full-Text Index. Having a backup of the Database and
Full-Text Index will ensure that at the very least you can return them to the
condition they were in prior to any actions you may have performed. Backing up
the entire C:\DOCSTAR\DATABASE directory is recommended, since the DocSTAR
Database (Document.MDB), the Full-Text Index (Mainidx sub folder), Shared.ini
(Host system settings and templates), and all other optional databases (Fax.MDB,
Import.MDB, Juke.MDB) are located in this directory.
The following Database & Full-Text Index utilities are provided on all DocSTAR systems in
the C:\DOCSTAR\TECHDISK directory:
DATAMGR.EXE Allows you to view and modify the Database one record at a time.
DBCHECK.EXE Performs Database check-up reporting.
DBMATCH.EXE Allows comparison of a known good database structure to that of a
suspect database.
DOCUTIL.EXE Allows initializing and rebuilding of the Full-Text Index. Also Allows
you to run SQL statements on the database. See ‘Creating SQL
Statements’ later in this section.
Using the utilities
DATAMGR.EXE
Datamgr.exe can be used to view or modify database records manually, one record at a
time. When launching Datamgr.exe you must specify an Access database format and
locate Document.MDB in the ‘Open database’ window.
