Saving Items to the Database

To save items to the database, the database must first be enabled. See Preparing the Database.

Each time you put a lane online, the Intellispec saves defect information and images to the database. The defect database for each lane has a fixed number of 500,000 records, and once this number is reached the oldest records will be overwritten with the newest ones.

Note: when the database is prepared, the entire hard drive space is used, so the "Defect DB" hard drive will appear full. The Defect Database Tool places images and defect information into the database, using allocated placeholders in the database. You will not be able to tell whether the database is full by looking at hard drive space.
