Operation Manual

The database management system comes with additional tools found on the Config -> Browser tab.

 Save ‗On the Fly‘ during each session use

 Automatic check of database integrity at start

 Manually check the database integrity

 Fix database error(s)

 Clean out database entries for missing/moved files

VirtualDJ updates and saves the database immediately when changes are made. At start of the

application the integrity of the database file(s) are validated. If a problem is detected a message box

will be displayed identifying which database has the problem with a recommendation of how to fix the

problem.

Usually the database only needs a Fix - here are the steps:

1. Open the configuration dialog

2. Go to the Browser tab

3. Select the Drive from the drop-down

4. Click the ‗FIX‘ button

Other options for managing the database(s) are -

CHECK – this runs a validation of the database to ensure that all database file references are still valid

and existing stored files on that drive. The process simply re-labels the FilePath entry for the file if it can

not be found. Data about that file is not lost.

CLEAN – this process will REMOVE any database information about files that are no longer valid. This

is necessary for cleaning up the Global Search capabilities.
