Quick question about database?

Hi,

Got a quick question about the database tool module in sambapos, it’s very useful, but why is it necessary, could we not just dump a new sql in the sql database?

Thanks!

It’s not necessary it is optional for convenience. It allows quick easy transfers of settings as well as automation for SQL Scripts.

Yes you can do all of it with SQL for example Training Mode is just a clone database of your production DB and it deletes it after your exit Training Mode. You press one button to do this. Think about the same process using MSSMS, it would be much more complicated same thing goes for the Script automation.

You need to explain more about what your trying to do.

I think its more for those less comfortable working directly with SQL,
It includes the training mode which is quite handy when training staff or testing new settings without creating new transactions if working on production environment.

Nothing really! Was just curious as to why it was setup like that.

Oh really? I didn’t notice the training mode, where can I find that, that would be really useful!

You are talking about Database Tools and not Database Backups Module correct?

Thanks both :smile: Very helpful as always
