I extracted files from my embedded database into a directory I created. The extraction process created a sub directory having the name of the embedded database. This sub directory had sub directories titled Configuration2, database,forms, META-INF, reports, content, mimetype, and settings. The sub directory database contained the files script, data,properties and backup which I renamed to mydb.script, mydb.data, mydb.properties and mydbbackup per the procedure to create a split database. Do I then move these renamed files to the top directory I created or leave them in the sub directory created during the extraction process? If I move them to the directory I created do I need all the other files created in the extraction process or are they excess baggage?
You never really mentioned if you have already created a new split DB. If not then see this post - click here which contains a newer version of HSQL. If newly creating, you may have to copy other items from .odb to new split file.
The three files you need from the embedded DB are xxx.script, xxx.properties, and xxx.data (where xxx = name of newly created split DB). That’s all that should be needed. Save your original .odb until you are sure the split DB is OK. The three file are to be moved to the database sub-directory of the new split folder.
