  • Get the latest release from GitHub
  • Extract the zipfile
  • Rename the folder 'DataDigger-xxxxx' to 'DataDigger' (remove datestamp)
  • Doubleclick DataDigger.pf

DataDigger will now open without any database connected. You can drag a .db file onto the window or add your own database connections to the DataDigger.pf file.

Shortcut

It might be easy to have a shortcut to DataDigger with your databases already connected. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Create a shortcut to prowin32.exe / prowin.exe and use as parameters: -basekey “INI” -p DataDigger.p.
  • Set the working directory to the folder that contains the source files of DataDigger.
  • Add -pf <yourdatabase.pf> to connect to your own databases
  • (optional) use -param "My Title" as a title for the DataDigger window

Production environment

If you want to use DataDigger with your production environment, you will probably run it in ReadOnly mode
