Databases

The Database tab is available in Database mode, the Sandbox and Engine Competitions.



The controls on the Database tab allow you to manage and search databases.



The Open button opens a database. This is a split button and clicking the black, downward pointing triangle displays a list of recently used databases.

New creates a new database in DSN format.

Delete displays a standard Open dialog box, which allows you to locate any type of database supported by Rybka Aquarium and delete it as long as it’s not open in Aquarium.

Export allows you to convert the current database to either CDP or PGN format, if it is in DSN format. Other types of database can be exported to DSN format.

Note that additional conversion options are available by using "Save as New Base" on the List tab when viewing a list of games. It converts the currently displayed list, so this method can be used to convert either selected games or the whole database.



If you plan extensive editing of games, it is recommended that you convert PGN/EPD databases to DSN or CDP format. Deletion of games/positions is not supported in PGN/EPD databases.
