Question
How to compress the database of InViDos?
Answer
The size of the *.mdb files will grow not only when data is added to them. By simply modifying some of their data, the files sizes will increase. It is therefore necessary to compress them at regular intervals.
- Open Settings / Control Panel / 32bit ODBC.
- Select "InViDos Patients" in the System DSN tab.
- Configure the selected data source.
- Compact the database.
- Repeat steps 2-4 with the "InViDos Equipment".
It is difficult to say exactly how often the database must be compressed. By knowing the file sizes before and after compression, it is possible to estimate the time interval.
