Database Utility
Designed to perform two simple database management tasks, Database Utility can Compact and attempt to Repair LightFactory database files. This Utility works with both v1 and v2 database files.
 
 
 
As all shows in LightFactory v1 are stored in a single database file, after deleting one or more shows from the show database, the show database file (show.fdb) does not decrease in size. This is expected behaviour.
Database Utility will compact the show database file by removing the unused space in the file.
This may result in increased system performance.
 
 
The database file is normally very resilient, but in the event that LightFactory reports a database error, such as the one below, it would be worth running the Compact and Repair option.
Database Utility will attempt to automatically repair the error.
 
Please Note:
  • This may not always be successful (Please contact me!)
  • You may loose some data for the repair to be completed successfully.
