Database Editing

    Is it possible to edit the MySql database directly without having to re-initialize database through Conquest. Would you need to re-initialize for every edit or could you edit a number of patients THEN re-initialize.


    OR


    After editing do you just need to restart the service.

    If you do edit the database directly then you cannot do a re-initialize. If you re-initialize, the records are deleted (along with your changes) and new data is inserted.


    In general you should avoid manually editing the database files directly as conquest does not know about it and the changes may not accuratly reflect the contents of the dicom files.


    You should probably either
    - add a forwarding rule that makes the changes you want
    or
    - use an external program such as dcmodify from DCMTK toolkit to modify the files and then use the command line option --regenfile:file to update the database
