Database Management

PrimeCut NE supports the use of multiple databases on a network. Managing the databases is straight forward. Primecut will already have installed one main database (.fdb)  for your use, at least one tutorials database (Tutorials.fdb) for the programmers to experiment with the software. You will also see there is a master Tutorials.fdm for creating a fresh tutorials database.

 
To create a database open the PC4 folder in your installation directory. Open the Licence folder, and double-click on the PC4LicGUI.exe executable file. The following window should open.

Right clicking on a database or master file brings up the following drop-down box.

Clicking Clone will create a replicated copy of whatever database you chose, if you chose a Master file, it creates a new database (.fdb) file of that kind.

If you want you can take a database offline by clicking Disable, or Enabling a database that is offline to put it back online. Only the online databases will show up in the login menu.
