 Introducing PTWin32 |
Like
everything else in the universe, computers are not catastrophe proof. No matter
how scrupulously you attend to your hardware and software eventually the odds
will catch up with you and something will happen to mess up your data. Usually
it’s something like a power failure but lots of things can contribute to the
corruption of data. When this happens to your PTWin32 data there are tools we
provide to help in your attempts to repair your data. There
are generally 2 ways a database table can be corrupted. The first involves
corruption in the data that can cause the delimiters between the field values to
move. To fix this we simply consult the header information of the database
table, which stores the delimiter locations, and rebuild the corrupted data. But
what if the header information that details the underlying structure of the
table has been damaged? Well we’ve thought of that and built into our Tutility
Table Repair program the ability to Borrow the structure of an
undamaged table and apply it to your corrupted table. You
will find that your /PTWin32 directory contains a subdirectory called /Struct
that contains a fresh, empty set of PTWin32 database tables. These tables match
the tables in your \PTWin32\Data directory.
