Compact Database

The Mediacaster database is limited to a maximum of 2 GB, excluding media.

The likelihood of the limit being reached is low but if it is reached, Mediacaster will inform you of the need to compact the database when the database starts to approach 80% of the maximum limit mentioned above.

To compact the database, run the Manager and open the Tools menu. Select ‘Compact Database’.

 

 

You are now warned that old transactions will be deleted and that compaction can take a while. You are also requested to close all modules accessing the database. This includes the Mediacaster Manager and Server.

A backup of the database is made before compaction. It is located in the default ‘C:\Program Files\Isenzo Mediacaster\Database’ folder. The file name is date stamped.

After compaction you are can delete the backup if you do not require it.
