Database seems overly large

[ApexHack]

My gbpvr.mdb is 182MB. This seems too big. What is not happening that should?

Thanks

Let us know when it hits 2 GB.

Seriously, that isn't too bad.
Do you have a newer version of access you can compress it with?

I'm not sure how to compress it without access.

Or look at converting to the sql-lite db...

If you need to shrink it just open up the config app and then select OK, it will get cleaned up considerably.

If you have not already done so upgrade to GBPVR 97.13, and convert to the SQLlite database. This database will remain nicely clean, small and responsive.

This ever growing database was one of the main reasons we're moving to SQLite. You can use the ChangeDatabase utility to switch over.

Access databases do not reclaim space even when data is deleted, so are constantly growing. It is possible to compact a database under certain circumstances, and GB-PVR will try to do this, but there are many situations where this is not possible.
