Network Database and Merging Databases

General Information:

The process of moving and consolidating your two local databases into one is quite simple as long as you do not need concurrent use. 

The database technology delivered with coDiagnostiX is a single user database. After following the steps below, either user will be able to connect to the central database and plan cases, but not at the same time. If they need concurrent (simultaneous) use, then the database will need to be swapped out. 


The only multi-user database supported by coDiagnostiX is Microsoft SQL Server. This is a separate technology that you would need to purchase, install, and configure. 

Once it is running, coDiagnostiX can store cases there and share the patient list among multiple simultaneous users. We do not sell or provide technical support for the MS SQL Server. We offer technical support for the connection to the MS SQL Server.


Network database setup and how to move the existing default database:

For "one-at-a-time" access, follow the steps below to move your database to a central location:

- Be aware that any modification to the default database setup and configuration is in the responsibility of the user, wrongdoing could result in data loss! Please contact the 2nd LVL coDiagnostiX Customer Support if you need assistance here.


  • Server: Setup a network share to house the new database folder and assign it a drive letter
  • Workstation 1 (whichever user has the larger database): Locate the Database folder (it should be here: C:\ProgramData\coDiagnostiX\coDiagnostiX.App) and COPY it.
  • Server: Go to the new shared drive location and PASTE the Database folder from Workstation 1
  • Workstation 1: Click on the Management function from the main screen and choose "Change database" Set the startup database for this workstation to the new server location

  • Workstation 2: Click on the Management function from the main screen and choose "Archive & Restore" to archive all patient datasets from the local database
  • Workstation 2: Click on the Management function from the main screen and choose "Change database" Set the startup database for this workstation to the new server location
  • Workstation 2: Click on the Management function from the main screen and choose "Archive & Restore" to restore all previously archived datasets to the new central database
