Using Multiple Databases
What does it do?
The Load Database dialog box provides functions that are useful for:
- Creating new databases.
- Deleting databases that are no more in use.
- Modifying names and descriptions of existing databases.
- Loading different databases to the program.
A database is a collection of data files permanently stored on a hard disk.
Your data can be spread across separate databases. For example:
- Records with similar topics can be stored in one database, using a topic name as a database name.
- You can create temporary database for records that are entered during one month/week period. When the time cycle ends and all new records are revised move them to the permanent database file. This is a very secure way of maintaining your data.
- Each member of your family/company can have separate data file.
- Is your computer slow? Do you need a fast access to a group of records? Keep those records in separate databases.
- On a multi-user systems you can create private and public databases.
How to get there?
From the Main menu at the top of the screen: select File, then Load database. In the Speed Bar click on the Load push button.
Frequently Asked Questions - Movie Organizer Deluxe
- How Many Records Are There In My Database?
To answer this question you have to disable the Letter Tabs. Then Click on Last button in the left panel (Table of Contents) and select the last record by clicking on the last non-empty Record Button. The number in the right-bottom part of the main window (underneath the Details Panel) will give you the number of records in your database.
- How to eliminate duplications.
Go to Advanced/Maintenance/Duplicates. This function allows you to display and/or delete duplicate records based on a selected data field. For example, if you have a database of Web pages you can easily find and eliminate records with the same Web page address.
- Use Record Templates!
If you enter many similar records chances are that you could save yourself a lot of typing by using the Record Templates. The Record Templates are most often used when adding new records (New button) but may also be used to replace the contents of the existing records. Click with the left mouse button on the Record Template button (in the top-right corner) to select a template for adding new records. Use the right mouse button to save the current record as a Template or to replace the current record with a Record Template.
