Version+Monitoring

The database documentation was done largely on RootsMagic version 4.0.7.1. As far as we can tell, the database schema has not changed, as of version 4. 1.2.1 . Changes may be detected by opening a database created by each version with a SQLite manager; then exporting either a query of the full sqlite_master table or the database schema (just the SQL field of that table wrapped in a transaction) and comparing the exports from each version using a text editor that has a compare function (e.g. Notepad++).

The page Database System Catalog is the full sqlite_master table from 4.0.7.1, sorted by the tbl_name field.

For future comparisons, below is the schema from 4.0.8.4, downloadable from and that of 4. 1.2.1 : [|Empty4121Schema.sql]. code format="sql" Begin Transaction; CREATE TABLE AddressLinkTable (LinkID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, OwnerType INTEGER, AddressID INTEGER, OwnerID INTEGER, AddressNum INTEGER, Details TEXT );
