Topic: Correct Procedure For Optimizing Database?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm having a brain fart and do not have the manual handy...

What is the correct procedure for optimizing the database?

I think I messed up because most of the information for bpm and length is missing from my videos. I think it might have occurred when I did "check" then "fix".

How about we drain some of the gas from your brain. The manual is always in the same place:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Documents\VirtualDJ
 
 
At this point I would suggest copying your target database to a safe location before doing the Check-Clean-Fix procedure. That way you can revert back if the process screws something up.

I am suspicious that the Check-Clean-Fix process either adds space characters or doesn't compact after a record deletion. I have found large holes in the XML databases that will hide your Virtural Folders and perhaps Songs from view due to these gaps.

I experimented and re-edited the XML databases to remove these space characters ... thus manually compacting the info. And restored my hiding VFs.

Be careful and do a backup first.

Doh! An experienced pro user like myself should have that burned in my brain! Blonde moment hit again I guess.
