Can I reduce database size in CathexisVision software?
Problem
Is it possible to reduce the size of a database in all versions of CathexisVision?
Solution
NetBSD does not use the file system database engine, and the code does not allow for the database to be reduced in size.
CathexisVision 2014: Fedora and Windows use a Basic file system database, and it is possible to edit and reduce the size of the already created database.
CathexisVison 2015 and higher: The new advanced database only allows you to reduce the size if the database if it consists of multiple slices (volumes/disks). You can delete the slices in order to reduce the overall database size.
NB* When deleting slices of a database you will be deleting recorded footage that belongs to that slice in the database
