10.4 Database Performance
To maintain a high database performance, it is very important to control the size of
the database. It is also recommended to restart the system computer at least once a
week. It is allowed to install an anti virus program, but it is not recommended to
scan the database files.
10.4.1 Controlling the Database Size
A large database will have lower performance (access time, database search time
etc.) compared to a smaller database. The size of the database can be controlled by
two methods:
1. Activate autodelete of orders.
2. Archive images onto CD-R/RW or LAN.
Recommendation:
Keep the maximum size of the database to approx 20 GB. See 9.11 Adjusting
Archiving Settings for more information.
Note! Select Compress Database to view the database size (see 9.1.5 Compressing
a Database).
Note! Delete all unsigned and failed orders.
