How do I delete a company database ?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 02:36

I had created a second database. To delete it, do I just drop the database from postgresql?

On a GNU-ish *nix platform use the script:
tools/delete-company-database.sh
it'll remove the roles and the database.

Performance Issues w/Ledgersmb 1.3.x

I found something very interesting. I created a test HTML page containing solely text called testpage.html. I dropped this file in two locations. One in the Apache root directory (/srv/www/htdocs/) and the other in the ledgersmb directory (/user/local/ledgersmb/). I changed ownership of the file to wwwrun:www. I then ran the following tests:

Test 1:
URL: http://192.168.1.10/testpage.html
Results: Page loaded almost instantaneously.

Do I have to type in the full customer's name on the invoice screen? Didn't there used to be a drop-down list?

But I'm glad to be able to deny your conclusion above: the system will search on any partial match, both on the customer number or on the customer name. So, there's no need to spell them quite exactly.

Also, if you want the drop downs back, there's a setting in the System -> Defaults screen (third item below the currency settings input box; "Max per dropdown"). If you enter 99999 into that (assuming you don't have that many customers), you'll be presented the selection list you're used to.

Developing custom LedgerSMB extension experience

In summary: adding to or changing LedgerSMB can be extremely easy

For one of my businesses, I needed to create an application to store some data on the services and products we provide. Basically, there would be one central table with some references to a few other tables, mostly to provide (short) selection lists. Also, there's one bigger complexity, because we wanted to link to our customer data.

The customer data is all stored in LSMB, so, developing this database inside LSMB's database seemed like a logical choice.
