DATABASE COMPACT UTILITY
The Database Compact program allows you to reduce the size of
your database by removing deleted time stamp entries (deleted
entries are not visible through the Data Browser but still occupy
space in the database) and saving only the current entries in a
new database.
To Compact your Database
There is no icon for database compact utility in the VRC2500
program group. To access this utility, you must do the following:
1. Click on the My Computer icon on your Windows Desktop,
2. Choose the drive you have the VRC2500 software installed
on, and choose the VRC2500 program directory. By default
the program will be installed in C:\VRC2500, but you may
have installed it to another location.
3. In ther VRC2500 program directory, click on the icon for
GSCompDB.exe.
4. In the VRC2500 Compact and Repair Database window,
browse to and select the source database.
5. Click Browse to determine the location of the new file. Type in
the name of the new database or use the default name.
6. Click Compact Database.
You will use the compacted database as your current database.
After compacting, you can then delete the original database and
rename the new compacted database with the original name.
