PAhud Problem: Won't finish populating cache.

[NU Star]

I just created a new postgresql database in pokertracker to try to speed up my system. So now I have 2 databases, both postgresql both open in pokertracker. I have both selected in PAhud as databases to be used. The problem now is that after I selected the new database in PAhud it started updating the database check, and it has been stuck doing it for many hours. Does this process just take a really long time or is there a problem I need to fix?

How many hands are in the database?

There were a lot in one of them and none in one of them, and the other is PLO and I have no idea about that one, but anyway it just took a really long time and is working fine now.

I had exactly the same problem - I think its a corrupted database. I kind of worked round the problem by adding a new database and exporting the HHs from the previous corrupted DB to my hard drive and then imported them back to my new DB. Then I deleted the DB both in PT and C:, and it worked absolutely fine when I then tried to cache it.

It could be a corrupt database, but if there are a lot of hands in the database, it is just going to take a long time to initially create the cache.

Could you be more specific about 'long time'? I've run into the same problem...

I've had reported times of over 12 hours before. It depends on a lot of factors: database size, vacuum frequency, harddrive fragmentation, memory available, etc.
