Database Features

New Database Engine

Clooz 4 uses an SQLite database engine for its data storage. SQLite is the most used database engine in the world. It has been found to be highly reliable, fast, and efficient in its usage of disk space. Clooz implements it with features ensuring data integrity, such that if a crash or software failure were to occur, the data already saved in the database remains protected.

Upgrades Previous Versions

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Clooz, no problem. Clooz 4 will upgrade any working Clooz database to the current format.

Backup and Recovery

Clooz cannot protect the file from actions taken outside its control, like accidental deleting or computer disk failures. For this, Clooz provides backup and recovery functions to save archive copies of your database (now compressed as standard zip files). It is critical for you to establish an overall backup and recovery strategy for your computer in general.

Database Overview Feature

Clooz 4 includes a new database overview feature showing a summary of the numbers of records of various data types, or even the relative numbers of occurrences of different surnames for people. The page also includes a history of the most recent changes you make to the database.
