Behind-the-scene databases in RM10
We've known about transient SQLite databases such as those associated with Duplicate Search, TreeShare upload/download and FamilySearch operations but there are potentially others that are even less visible. I got a clue to that from a Google Drive report in lost_and_found_data.txt. (shshshsh - that started years ago when I was syncing RM data on a Windows tablet and two computers over OneDrive at a time when it automatically suspended syncing of a RM database when it was open - but I synced the RM appdata over Gdrive and that's still going even though I no longer use the other devices).
The list below is not the db file itself, whose extension may not be the conventional ones, but the journal file for it which is created when the db file is in transaction and deleted when the transaction successfully completes. The db file would have the same path and name without the "-journal" appendage.
\RootsMagic AppData\Version 10\EBWebView\Default\Web Data-journal
\RootsMagic AppData\Version 10\EBWebView\Default\DIPS-journal
\RootsMagic AppData\Version 10\EBWebView\Default\History-journal
EDIT:
RootsMagic AppData\Version10\EBWebView\Default\EdgeEDrop\EdgeEDropSQLite.db-journal
There may be more that Gdrive missed.
Is there anything significant about these?
- Seems to be related to the development platform upgrade for RM8 for a common core for Windows and MacOS.
- Might be a source for some SQLite Error #n reports
Or it could be just a piece of trivial knowledge...
