Sage L50 - What does rebuild database do?

Hi all,

I work as an IT consultant to a company that has a particular issue I've been trying to squash (which I'll ask about in a separate post). During my attempts I've been wondering about the Rebuild Database function under the Maintenance tools: What exactly does the Rebuild function DO? Sage warns me to use "EXTREME CAUTION", but without knowing the function, I don't know what sort of caution is required! :-)

Thanks!
- Eric

It allows you to delete entire sections of data from the databases

Oh wow that's heavy stuff. I thought it was akin to MS Access's "Repair & Compact" feature. Good think I asked. :-D Thanks Bruce!

Cheers,
