Re: [pilot-db-list] I can't find on the "Help" noting about "Rebuild DB"

[Michael R. <mar...@gm...>]

Luiz:
I'm not a programmer, just a user, but generally rebuilding the database 
is a form of housekeeping.  If you've deleted records over time the 
database will be untidy, with unused space slowing it down, etc.  
Rebuilding does what the word implies, by reconstructing the data table 
and repacking all the data into a cleaner, more efficient datafile.  
Sometimes a datafile gets corrupted and often a rebuild will fix the 
problem.  You can get general info on this process by googling "rebuild 
database" or "rebuild palm database." 

As for why your Zire freezes, I have no idea. My Palm Tungsten never 
balks on rebuilding.

I hope this is of some help.  Hopefully, someone with more technical 
knowledge will also respond.
