SpeedBase Version 5.9.2

General Announcement for All Versions

Users are reminded to avoid the following data folder locations:

- USB flash memory devices as this type of devices are not suitable for intense read/write operations as is the case with databases and can cause data corruption. You may use regular HDD, SSD or NAS devices if you want to keep your database on removable media. Please use usb flash memories just for backup purposes.

- Folders which are set to be synchronized by cloud sync software like Google Drive, One Drive etc.

- Desktop folder. Users who are using multiple machines to logon to the same Windows user account on a host machine are advised against placing/moving their data folder on desktop. Depending on your network setup, you may have database connection issues in some exceptional conditions.

What is New in Version 5.9.2

Customers are recommended to review the key changes given below in order to get the most out of the latest version:

• Computed fields can now be selected as the "key" field while importing data in update mode.
  When you are using the import function to update existing records on your database, you may select the "key" field as a computed type data field.
  
  
• Reminder pop up windows can optionally be opened from top right to bottom of the screen.
  If you are working with multiple databases, you may consider inverting the reminder locations for one of those databases to avoid them overlapping on each other.
  This setting is available on Preferences window in the "interface" section.
  
  
• Statistical functions used on toolbar are enhanced to support conditional calculations.
  RecordCount, FieldSum and FieldAvg functions now accept additional parameters to for conditional calculations.
  See related help page for more information.
  
  
• HttpPost script function has been enhanced to allow custom post messages and content type definition.
  This makes it possible to post data in JSON, XML or custom formats.
  Example:
  HttpPost "http://www.example.com/", 5, "{""key1"":""val1"", ""key2"":""val2""}", "Content-Type: application/json"

Upgrade Instructions

Before installing the new version, make sure that your support term has not expired. If it has expired, you must purchase Support Extension and update your license, otherwise you will not be able to complete the upgrade. If you are not sure, you may check your upgrade expire date by clicking "database" menu and then "information" on SpeedBase.

Do I have to uninstall existing version before installing the newer version?:
You do not, however you must exit SpeedBase before starting the installation. If SpeedBase was already installed, the installer will detect the existing installation, switch automatically to update mode and complete installation by just replacing existing files with the latest version.
Depending on your preference, you may also choose to uninstall first but the end result will be the same.

Follow the instructions given below for upgrading your software to the latest version:

• Make sure that SpeedBase is not running on the machine where you want to install.
  Beware that SpeedBase normally keeps running in the background by default in order to process reminders and messages even if you close the main window. To properly terminate the software, click "Data" menu from main window and select "Exit". If you do not terminate it prior to installation, installation will still be successful but you will be required to reboot your computer to complete the installation.
  
• If the setup file is in compressed ZIP format, extract it's content into a temporary folder.
• Run the setup file and complete installation. Note that, there are no separate installers for Pro/Teamwork licenses or for trial/registered users.
• If available, apply also the bugfix update as described on this help page.
• If you have a multiuser license, follow the same steps above on all other machines and ensure that all instances of SpeedBase are connected to the same database in the same data location.
• The new version will also remain registered and fully functional as long as your support/upgrade term has not expired.
• During first startup, SpeedBase will also upgrade your database.
• In case of an exceptional condition where you decide to undo the upgrade, follow the instructions given on this help page
