newsInstallDb
First run newsDropDb, as shown above, on the host machine for the database. Then run
newsInstallDb as shown here. This batch file dispatches to the dbInstall program which
is placed on each client by the DNP installer. This will work for standalone editors. For
DSM servers, use Add/Remove Programs to remove the TGV DNP database program
entry and rerun Setup NewsShareServer. Before or after creating the empty database,
you need to purge or manually reconcile the media files.
Template for local (non-shared) database
newsInstallDb -local [-noxform]
If the -noxform switch is not present and the installer finds certain markers that indicate
that NewsEdit 4.0 had previously been used on the machine, the program will attempt to
convert the 4.0 database to 4.1+ form for local use. If such a conversion happens,
media-database skew will render the data nearly useless unless the machine has just been
converted from 4.0. The noxform switch should be used except for upgrades.
Example

newsShrinkDb
Since the database automatically shrinks its transaction log, this operation would be
necessary only under unusual circumstances.
