- If you are upgrading from a previous version just replace the old
- QRDB.EXE and QRDBMGR.EXE files with the new ones in this package.
- If you use the Fossil version of QRDB, it is the file called QRDB_fos.Exe,
- depending on your setup you may have to rename it QRDB.Exe. Earlier
- fossil versions were in a seperate package and were called QRDB.Exe.
-
- When run in local mode or stand-alone full access to all features is
- given and levels do not apply.
-
- QRDB is being supplied is being supplied in both Non-Fossil and Fossil
- versions. The fossil version is in QRDB_FOS.EXE and is included. Some
- BBS systems running under a Fossil have found that the non Fossil
- version won't work with their system. I run a QuickBBS system and use
- the Non-Fossil version. I have had reports from Max and RA sysops that
- required the Fossil version. The Fossil version won't allow you to
- hang up on a user, but you can always use that button on the modem.
-
- The error message "Cannot execute QRDB.EXE" means that the program
- does not have enough memory to operate in. You need at least 400k.
-
- If you get the Error message "QRDB.Dat not found or Corrupt", make sure
- you have the environment variable set, before looking for other
- problems. Example QRDB=C:\QRDBDIR set it to the directory that QRDB is
- located in.
-
- Earlier 3.x versions of QRDB had a problem that sometimes left two keys
- to the same type 3 record when a keyfield was edited using QRDB. The old
- key and the edited key both pointed to the edited record. If you have
- duplicate keys you will have to rebuild the index using the QRDBMgr
- program to get rid of them. First use the function: (E)rase QRDB
- Index/Data then (B)uild Type 3 DB Index.
-
- The following info was added to the docs, you may have nissed it A
- numeric field as a key may have problems indexing. Depending on how the
- key field was input. dBase, dBuddy or QRDB. It is suggested that you
- don't use a numeric field as a key unless all input is via one system.
-
- If you are updating from Versions of QRDB prior to 3.x read the following.
-
- If you have type 3 Database files, use QRDBMgr to check Security levels.
- Add, Edit and Delete features have been added to the type 3 DataBase,
- and security level fields in QRDBMgr have been expanded to control
- access. One other thing on the type 3 DataBase field codes in QRDBMgr
- have also been changed to N,O,R and K. The old (D) code will be
- interperted as (O) in any existing files.
