TScore saves all of its information in a separate database - one for each competition.
You must connect to a competition database in order to work with it. Here's how... |
| |
| From either of the 'Main' or 'Edit Competition' screens, click the 'Change..' button at the top right. |
|
| This will display the 'Connect' window shown here: The 'Connection Details' show you which database server you are connected to (with a drop-down list of any other servers on your network), plus the current database connection username and password. The 'Competitions' list shows you all of the competitions on the current server, while the 'Competition Details' box displays information about the competition currently highlighted in the list. TScore remembers the server and competition that you were last attached to, and automatically connects to this when you next start the program. |  |

Connecting to a Different Competition
To change to a different competition on the same server, simply click it in the list (the 'Details' will be shown) and then click the 'Connect' button. |  | You can also just double-click the list entry if you prefer. |
|
| To switch to a different database server, click the pull-down list of servers and select the one you want. If the server list only contains your PC, click the 'List All' button to search the network for other computers. | | TScore will normally only list those computers on which it can detect a database. You can tell it to list ALL computers on the network by changing the setting in the Preferences screen. |  |
|
| The logon and password should be as you set them when you first installed the database. By default, these are both 'postgres' for the PostgreSQL database. | |
| |
Deleting a Competition
You can also delete old or temporary databases using this screen. Highlight the database to delete and then pick the 'Delete' button. You will be asked to confirm the action. |
TScore will automatically export a copy of the database before it is deleted. The filename of the safe copy will be shown when the operation has completed. | |
