Data file change

Today I see that I have two extra data files ending in .rmtree-shm and .rmtree-wal; my standard data file just ends in .rmtree. What’s going on?

Those files will appear when the database is opened. When the database is closed they will disappear.

Thanks. Never noticed it before.

Herb

Do not delete those files, nor touch them nor manipulate them in any way. RM uses SQLite as its database engine. Those two files are used by RM’s SQLite engine to help assure the integrity off the RM database in the event of a computer system crash or an RM crash.

Normally, you will see them only when RM is running. But even if you see them when RM is not running (or especially if you see them when RM is not running), do not delete those files or otherwise touch them or manipulate them in any way.
