 Introducing PTWin32 |
PTWin32
uses over 70 database tables that contain nearly 1,100 fields. There are over
370 data files supporting the tables including over 220 index files. And we
haven’t even begun to discuss executive program files or reports. Obviously
PTWin32 is a complex system especially considering it’s designed to run on a
network with many simultaneous users. The
laws of probability say that sooner or later something this complex is going to
screw up even if it’s something as simple as a power failure. But this is true
of any database system, not just PTWin32. It’s the nature of the beast and
cannot be avoided. But fear not for most problems of this nature can be
repaired. This is why we include the Tutility Table Repair Utility with
PTWin32. This
table maintenance and backup program is accessed from the PTWin32 program group
and allows you to rebuild and verify tables and index files, as well as remove
slack space and make backup files. When
you rebuild a database table using Tutility the program makes a copy of
the corrupt table before attempting to repair the damage. Tutility names
this backup copy by replacing the character before the dot with an under-bar
“_”. So a Tutility backup of the PARCEL.DB table will be called
PARCE_.DB.
