How stable is the database?

 Top  Previous  Next

 

Excerpt from a newsgroup thread:

 

Q: I wonder how capable and stable the database is? I've seen other programs that cannot handle too many images (I have several thousand pictures). The ACDsee database gets corrupt after a certain point & I delete the huge thumbnail index file periodically, this of course makes the annotation feature effectively unusable because all data is lost above a certain size.

 

A: The CodedColor database is very stable and tolerant to program crashes. So far we have only experienced one database corruption for every 50.000 users. But if you're worried, do backups from inside CodedColor regularly. Database corruption will only loose data up to the last backup.

 

The thumb database can always be rebuilt. Use the Clear Cache button in the Program Settings > Database tab for this.
