Converting your Pervasive GainSeeker® Database from File mode to Database Mode
Step 9 - Move additional configurations
Pervasive File Mode databases allows multiple tables of the same name, as long as they are in different folders. Pervaise Database Mode requires all tables within a database to reside in the same folder, so every table must have a unique name.
Fortunately, GainSeeker has the ability to map virtual names to physical table names. This makes it possible to keep data from separate configurations stored in separate tables within the same database.
We have already gone through the steps necessary to move your primary configuration into the new Pervasive Database Mode database. For each additional configuration, there are two tasks necessary:
Task A is to create new tables, with unique names for the configuration. GainSeeker includes a tool called the Table Creation Utility, which makes this very easy to do.
Task B is to use a GainSeeker utility called ConvertDB to move the data from the old, File Mode database into the new tables.
The following pages explain these tasks in detail.
