 List of Named Databases                             Help 1 of 1
  This screen displays the database names that are currently 
 defined in the DBNAMES.CFG file. A named database definition
 consists of a name, a dictionary location, and up to eight data
 file locations. 
 WARNING: If you have defined referential integrity constraints
          for a database, please refer to the "Btrieve   
          Installation and Operation" manual before using the
          Delete or Modify option.

 Cache Allocation                         Help 1 of 1
  Specify the size of the cache to be allocated by
 NetWare Btrieve. For best performance, allocate a
 cache size equal to the sum of the sizes of the   
 files you are using. Allocating a cache size
 exceeding this sum does not increase performance and
 wastes memory.

 Selecting a Conversion Method                            Help 1 of 1
  Select a conversion method. The default is PRIMARY, which is the
 recommended method because it clones the files, drops the indexes,

 method but is available in case the PRIMARY method fails.

  The log file records each execution of the Rebuild
 utility, including the date, time, filenames, and any
 status messages. The log file increases in size with
 each rebuild action because the most recent data is
 appended to the file. You may delete or edit the log
 file from the operating system. The name of the log file
 is BREBUILD.LOG, and the file is located at SYS:SYSTEM.
