Database/Archive
Database
Use this page to adjust parameters of database. For the simplicity the database is broken into daily portions.
You can reserve table of database 2 of 3 times for safety. If there is breakdown into the main table, information from the 1-st copies will be loaded. If the 1-st copy is broken too, the 2-nd copy will be used. At last, if the 2-nd copy is bad, empty table will be loaded (however, as since database is broken into daily portions, information only for one day will be lost). Control reserving process by fields "1-st copy" and "2-nd copy". The First parameter is number of records, after which the 1-st and the 2-nd copies will be created.
