59+ Log online help


 

Log database organization

59+ Log uses compound documents as the base for its database engine. Each log file created in 59+ contains several file streams and includes the following database tables:

·         Main log table - used to store QSO records

·         Look up tables - used by the award manager

·         Local configuration table - used by the application to store local configuration parameters such as last used band, last used report, grid configuration and so on.

·         Other auxiliary tables used by the parser and reports.

Despite its complicated internal structure each log database is nothing more than just a single file your disk. You can copy and delete it as any other file.

As shown on the picture, you can launch 59+ Log with a particular database by dragging a database's icon over 59L.EXE or by double clicking on the database's icon.

In addition to standard operations you can also copy internal file streams of a log database using 59+ Converter. 59+ Converter makes exporting and importing your database files a very straightforward task. We recommend reading chapters on 59+ Converter further down the document for more information on using the converter.
