How do I make a HEM-style hud from scratch?

[hohoho]

I do full housekeeping on all my dbases - 19 have full cache, and the remaining 1 has a cache update every week.

How do I 'combine hands' with my 20 databases?

[WhiteRider]

Sorry - I meant to describe that.
To combine databases you need to import the hands from a few databases into a single database.
You can either use one of the existing databases, or create a new one.
If you still have the original hand history files then you can just import those - if not you'll need to export them from the existing databases.

[hohoho]

So if I have 10 x 1M hand databases vs 1 x 10M hand databases = the hud will perform much quicker with the single 10M hand dbase?

[WhiteRider]

I can't say for sure, but I would expect so - once that database is cached the retrievals should be pretty quick from it.

[hohoho]

I reduced my dbases to 5, but my new hud layout lags crazy, especially when joining new tables.

PT3 has hung a few times and I've had to go to task manager to kill PT3, before my pokerstars tables come back.

I had no problems when I used the default 1-group setup.

What version of PT3 are you using?
There were some significant performance improvements in Beta 29 so if you haven't yet updated please reboot your computer then run the Beta 29.1 upgrade installer and see if that works any better.

[hohoho]

Thanks, I just did the upgrade. Not tried it playing multi-table, but it definitely boots faster rather than that big pause.

I deleted a whole bunch of dbases from postgres, I noticed there were 34 instances of postgres.exe running. So by deleting the databases, I presume I am freeing up postgres.

I will try my 4-group hud again, if it lags then I will have to use a single group one.

Sounds like a plan, please keep us posted.

[hohoho]

Well, I did the following :

- upgraded to the new beta PT3
- removed older dbases. I now have around 18 x dbases running with the HUD, all 1M+ hands

I then ran my '4-group' HUD layout. And it's running really quick, zero lag.

I would also like to point out that all my dbases have had housekeeping done on them and my HD is fully defragged, this seems to make quite a big difference.

I still have the disappearing stats when I sit out - and the memory grabber is activated for Pokerstars. Funnily enough, this did not happen until I upgraded to build 5.

Could you please open PT3 with logging enabled and reproduce the missing stats with the memory scanner and then report the problem so that we can investigate further?
