These are ALL that will be in existance when you make a new database. I have ONE single DBU file in the working database directory.
IF you are getting "errors", you may need to CLEAN OUT your database. Datapage does NOT delete anything from a database. Parts, transactions, data values, NOTHING ever gets deleted, it just gets "blocked" so that Datapage can no longer see it.
1) Make a copy of the existing database
2) Open DPEditor, do an ASCII dump of the database
3) Make a new database and open it
4) Do an ASCII load of the DUMP file
5) Move all the files from the new database to the old location so that your Pcdmis paths are not screwed up.
I do this every 3-6 months, copy all database files to a dated directory, ASCII dump all "old stuff" and delete it from the database, ASCII dump all remaining data (as a single file), copy a blank database to the working directory, ASCII load the dumped data and I now have a CLEAN database.
