analyse your *.db

analyse your *.db
If you want to try something I cooked up to analyse some rather big db files I transfered from other platforms you may download this Windows beta version (not that there are going to be other versions). just download :

EI
ftp://dbman@149.171.65.83
then left click on the file and
Save Copy To Folder

Netscape
ftp://dbman@149.171.65.83
put anything in as password
then left click and Save Link As

unzip into a folder (directory) and
click on the dbyze application file (dbyze.exe)there are two *.db examples their
if you want to try it on your own files just put copy them into the directory and launch dbyze. It isn't much but it saved me from looking through thousands of lines and/or helped confirm my problems were other than my *.db file.

good luck

What does this analyzer program actually do?

Can you be more specific about what it does??

Thanks.

One suggestion is to analyze regular expressions and the use of unique characters in fields that are common Perl codes (e.g., $,{,}) that could cause problems in the running of DBMAN.

I have downloaded your "analyzer" program and I will check it out...Looks interesting.

At this stage upon finding the delimiter and end of file type it runs through the file and lists any record number sequence problems, missing fields and in some cases it'll list what seems to be a lack of user id. I'am open to any ideas about what else happens to *.db files that I can check on in a generic way. Email me if you want a copy as an attachment and have trouble with my feeble ftp server.
