How to compact the MetaStock database
The MetaStock database is stored in an Access file named "ST_DATA.mdb". This file can grow to quite a large size… in excess of 2 Gb. However, using the clean-up tool that comes with the System Tester does not affect the file size. In order to effectively reduce the file size, follow these steps:
־ Make a backup copy of the database file for safety: ST_DATA.old
־ Open the original database with MS Access, and select the table "AnalysisEvents"
־ Delete all entries except for one record
־ On the Access Toolbar, select TOOLS | DATABASE UTILITIES | COMPACT & REPAIR
Now, the file size should be about 6 Mb. What an improvement!
