newsInstallDb

newsShrinkDb

4 October 2010
First run newsDropDb, as shown above, on the host machine for the database. Then
run newsInstallDb as shown here. This batch le dispatches to the dbInstall program
which is placed on each client by the DNP installer. This will work for standalone
editors. For DSM servers, use Add/Remove Programs to remove the TGV DNP
database program entry and rerun Setup NewsShareServer. Before or after creating
the empty database, you need to purge or manually reconcile the media les.
Template for local (non-shared) database
newsInstallDb -local [-noxform]
If the -noxform switch is not present and the installer nds certain markers that indicate
that NewsEdit 4.0 had previously been used on the machine, the program will attempt
to convert the 4.0 database to 4.1+ form for local use. If such a conversion happens,
media-database skew will render the data nearly useless unless the machine has just
been converted from 4.0. The noxform switch should be used except for upgrades.

Since the database automatically shrinks its transaction log, this operation would be
necessary only under unusual circumstances.
