Can the Database get too big?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I am getting constant errors when I try to edit tracks and waypoints with a Basecamp CRASH.

I usually can deal with a couple tracks (i.e. deleting points and change the name) before a CRASH.

The error message seems to reference a Cache and a List. Does this make sense to anybody?

Could the database have gotten too big for my PC. It's actually a gaming computer with good RAM.

It started out infrequently but now it is constantly. I have version 4.7.3 and have reloaded it multiple times.

How big is your BC database and how much free disc space do you have?

You could try setting up a new clean database Edit > Option > General > click the Green cross Add New Database button. Give it a name and choose a location, which can be an external drive. Restart BC to use the new database.
