RadiaCode the database file RadiaCode has a default name RadiaCode.sq3. At the first start of the RadiaCode program on the computer, an empty database file is copied to the folder:

Under Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\RadiaCode

Under Windows 7, 8, 10 and later versions of Windows:

C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\RadiaCode

This database file is used by the default program and is called the “shared database”. The shared database is not deleted when uninstalling a package RadiaCode and is not updated when new versions are installed. Thus, all versions of RadiaCode use the same database and require no adjustments, when installing new versions.

Note that a shared database is different for each user of the same computer.

Using the menu command of the home window RadiaCode “Tools” -> “Select database” one can select for work both the shared database, and the database file with an arbitrary name and location, which was, for example, transferred from another computer.

RadiaCode creates general database backups in a Backup Subfolder of the folder where the shared database file is located (see above). Backups can be used to restore a database that has been corrupted by some failure. Restoration should be done manually by copying the appropriate backup file to a shared database file. In this case, the program RadiaCode shall not be running.

One can configure the number of days over which the database backups are created in the “RadiaCode settings” dialog box.
