Symphony Pro User Manual 2.0.2.15

The File Maintenance utility can also display specific information about a table and its associated SIL file. With one table selected, click the right mouse button. A properties panel opens, displaying the table information in the top portion of the panel. If you did not select an associated backup from the "View" menu there is no associated backup file. If you select a backup day from the view menu, then right click a table, the bottom portion of the properties panel displays information about the backup file. You can also click the "View" button below the backup file properties to open the SIL file in an editor to view the actual contents.

This example shows the Data table and backup file properties.

Re-indexing Tables

If you are using the default "Paradox" database type, there are situations that may arise where the data table "indexes" become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the data itself is corrupt, just the internal pointers used by the database to quickly locate records. This can happen during a system "crash". For example: at the moment that Symphony Pro is writing data to a table, there is a power failure, or the computer "freezes" because of low resources. When the system comes back online, and Symphony Pro is re-started, it will open a message box indicating that it was not properly shut down, and that this may have caused damage to the data table indexes. In this case it is suggested that the tables be re- indexed as a precaution.

NOTE: If your installation is using MSSQL rather than a Paradox style database you will probably never need to run the re-index command because the MSSQL program handles this type of situation internally.

Re-Indexing Operation

NOTE: Close all Symphony Pro programs and modules before running the re-index command. If you re-index while there are tables open, the process will stop, indicating that a table is busy. You must close all Symphony Pro programs and re-start the re-index process.
