Database Configuration Options

Upgrading from a previous release installs the software for the new release and prompts for decisions about existing data. The configuration program asks what procedures to follow and offers these choices:

• Create and initialize tables, or only initialize tables to prepare a new encyclopedia
• Update existing schema and codepage tables and preserve your models, subsets, aggregate sets, and other data tables

The installation program installs all software without offering choices. Use the configuration program to update or erase the database.

Important! If you choose to create or initialize the database, all data in that database is lost.
