FAQ: Changing to MS-Access database

powerDOCUMENTS does support different database types. Using the default configuration the data is stored in an internal database (SQLite). The following steps are neccessary to change to an database in MS-Access format.
  • Use MS Access to create an completely empty MDB database file.

  • Change configuration of powerDOCUMENTS to point to this new database file (ConfigKeys: 'dbType', 'dbPath').

    You can either use an editor to change the config file directly ('Config.xml') or use the config dialog of powerDOCUMENTS.

  • powerDOCUMENTS will initialize the new/empty database next time it is started.

Please be aware that these steps describe how to switch to an empty MS Access database. Existing data from the old database is not converted / transfered.
