Empty the Database

General

  • This function will delete the contents of the database, but will save the database structure.
  • First, make a backup of the database, i.e. copy the two files d_DATABASE and d_DATABASEc somewhere safe, because clearing the database cannot be undone.
  • Please note that the databases used for archiving (d_PROREG, d_PICREG and d_MODREG) must not be cleared using this function.
