SetupDB - Database Setup

SetupDB() allows upgrading or repairing a database. It works similar to the CopyDB() utility but it is easier to use. SetupDB() copies the database to a temporary database. After successfully copying the database the old database is deleted and the updated database is moved (or renamed) to the original position.

The utility works for local or file server databases, only.
