[DogParkList] Logging SQL Database and Version Compatibility ?

[Phil Hystad]

I need to use my laptop to maintain my log database for a few days so I open the SQL database on my iMac via shared filesystem of my local network.  I noticed that the data for some of the columns was blank, such as first name, last name, rig, and maybe a few others.  Other data was correct.

I checked the versions of MacLoggerDX on my laptop (where the mentioned fields were blank) to the MacLoggerDX on my iMac.

       MacBook Pro laptop version of MacLoggerDX:  5.22 (build 29)
   
       iMac desktop version of MacLoggerDX: 5.23 (build 64)

So, I figured there was an incompatibility problem and I updated my laptop version to 5.23 (build 64) and the problem was fixed.  (By the way, I only have a single instance of MacLoggerDX running when I open this "shared" file).

So, question: was this merely a version compatibility issue or was there something else happening that would cause certain fields not to be read and populated on the log display.  They were indeed in the database.

I have another question.  It seems that other information is also stored in the logging database.  For example, I rearranged some of the columns on the display of my laptop version of the log and then when I opened the file later using my iMac I noticed that the new column arrangement appeared on the iMac as well.  So, is the column display information also stored in the database?

I know these are minor questions but tonight I am curious.
