Reset the local database

From a technical point of view, it is ok to have multiple events in your local database, but when the local database gets too large, it might start to slow down the server. What you don’t want to do is to start deleting data in the application itself, because this will also remove the data from the cloud database. The solution is to reset the local database, which allows you to start with a clean database without deleting data on the cloud.

Before resetting the database, make sure that all competition data is synchronized to the cloud. Updates that have not been synchronized will be lost after the database reset.

In the zip-file you donwloaded for installing the ScoreExpress application, there is a file called clearDB.bat. Run this script to reset the local database.

When prompted type the word yes to confirm the reset.

The database reset will remove all data from the local database, including all events and user accounts. Make sure that you have synchronized all data to the cloud before resetting the database.
