• Compact Database
System data records are constantly added to
and deleted from the database during normal
operation. When certain data records are
deleted from the database (e.g., Delete
System Log or Delete Master is performed),
space for these records is not automatically
reclaimed. The Compact Database option
removes all unused records from the database
files. If you copy databases to an archive over
the network, the Compact Database
command will reduce the archive space
required. This compact option is basically the
same compact tool that is provided with
Microsoft Access.
WARNING: Welds cannot be monitored while
the Compact Database option is in use. Any
remote user interface windows must also be
closed. A large database may take over ½ an
hour to compact. If the Cancel button is used,
the weld monitor must be shut down and
restarted. DO NOT shutdown the monitor
during this operation.
Figure 6-20 If a database operation is cancelled, the
monitor must be shut down and restarted
