NOTE
If you update to this version with an existing DB, it will take quite a while to 'reshape' your DB depending on how big it is. This can vary from a few minutes to several hours.

Your DB will only reduce in size if you do one of:

  • use API call DELETE /admin/repository
  • use org.qortal.RepositoryMaintenance main entry point
  • perform CHECKPOINT DEFRAG or SHUTDOWN COMPACT via HSQLDB's "sqltool"

If you have no open/active trades, you might find it quicker & easier to wipe your DB and use the bootstrap DB.

If you do have open/active trades, then on first startup of this version, your core will export those records into a file named TradeBotStates.script. Once this file is created, you can kill your current core process, replace your DB with the bootstrap and use the API call POST /admin/repository/data to re-import your exported data. Note: the API call will look for a file named import.script unless you have set apiKey in settings.json.

With existing DBs, the pathway to smaller DB is:

  1. start up with new version to perform DB reshape
  2. allow AT-states/online accounts trimming to finish (can take several hours)
  3. perform DB defrag as per above

Changes in this release:

  • DB reshape to help HSQLDB reuse space to slow DB size growth
  • More aggressive caching to reduce CPU load, especially when responding to peers
  • Ability to export node-local/sensitive repository data and corresponding import
  • Support for X-API-KEY header (must match value in settings.json) when performing sensitive API calls
    For more detail, see commit log.

db-v1.3.7-171850.zip

This is a 'bootstrap' database containing blockchain up to block height 171850, for Qortal core version v1.3.7+ ONLY.

This is to avoid the time/hassle of synchronizing your node from scratch.

WARNING: If you have any active, or on-going, trades then these will be lost if you replace your DB!
However, see text above about how to export your trade-bot entries/minting keys first.

It has no minting accounts added, so if you have a minting account you need to re-add this via UI or API.
It has an initial list of various community-run peers to help connect your node to the network.

The ZIP file contains:

  • db/blockchain.data (4.9GB)
  • db/blockchain.properties (107B)
  • db/blockchain.script (33K)

Delete/rename/move your old db folder first!

For Windows users, unpack into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Qortal\ folder.
Consider using 7zip if Windows built-in ZIP doesn't work.

For other users, unpack while in the same folder as qortal.jar.

In both cases, you should end up with a db folder with the actual files inside.
