Replace DB

Replace Postgres databases

To replace a database with another, click on the button. A window as below will appear. After you selected the database, which should be replaced, the software will compare the two databases and list differences (see below). If differences are found and you still want to replace the database, click on the [ Enable incongruent replacement ] button, to allow this. Then click no the Replace button. The database that should be replaced will be deleted and the current database will get the name of the replaced database.

The option  Restrict to sources with critical content  will restrict the output of the test to the main table as well as tables with content regarded as critical for a replacement. If you deselect this option, all tables will be listed as shown below.

If the number of datasets in a table corresponds in both databases, this table is regarded as congruent and marked with a (see above). If content is new, this will be marked with a and not regarded as critical. On the other hand missing content will be regarded as critical and marked with a (see below).

If the number of datasets differ between tables, but are not missing in eiter, this will be regarded as not critical and marked with (see below).

Further states for comparision of the tables are:

• Update when any part needs an update to the current version.
• Error when a part is missing as a whole.

With the option  Keep a copy of the current database a copy of the original database will be kept.
