Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Sequences

Cleaning up database files
I've started to clean up my sequence database files. I've imported some sequences into one larger sequence database and want to delete the old databases. Can I do this thru Windows or are there considerations due to index files etc.

Sequence databases are stored as C:\SQDATA\SEQ\*.SEQ

You must use CSDS to import or move sequences between sequence databases since the first record in each sequence database contains database specific information.

To delete or rename a sequence database:

  1. From the CSDS main menu, select 'Sequence' followed by either 'New sequence' or 'View sequence'. This brings up the 'Select Sequence Database' dialog box.
  2. Highlight the desired sequence database (left-click on it)
  3. Now right-click the mouse to bring up a context-sensitive menu, or click on the 'Database' menu.
  4. You should now have options to 'Delete' and 'Rename' the database.

You can use DOS or WINDOWS to copy and rename sequence databases, however, the new name of the sequence database must be in DOS 8. format (i.e., 8 characters followed by ".seq").

Sequence databases do not have index files.

Sequence picture information is stored in the picture database. The picture database consists of two files in folder C:\SQDATA\PICTURES (PICTURE.DAT and PICTURE.INX). If you move sequences from one database to another, the picture is not moved. To reassociate a picture with a sequence, you must either 'Edit [Graphics]' or 'Proofread' the sequence.
