Database Manager and known databases
Your databases
MorphMan keeps your words in .db files, in your profile's dbs folder:
| File | What's in it |
|---|---|
all.db | Every word of the cards read by Recalc. |
seen.db | The words of the cards you've reviewed. |
known.db | The words you know. |
mature.db | The words you know well (21 days). |
priority.db | Words you want to learn first. You make it. |
external.db | Words you know from somewhere else. You make it. |
learning_order.txt | The order to learn words. See learning_order.txt. |
Recalc makes the first four.
Known databases
Already know words from a course or a textbook? MorphMan comes with known databases, in Readability Files/Database:
- Genki 1, Genki 1+2
- Tango 5, Tango 5+4
- WaniKani level 20, 40, 60
- Kaishi 1.5k
- Jo Mako Japanese Course
To use one, copy it into your dbs folder and rename it external.db. At each Recalc, MorphMan adds its words to the ones you know.
Want several? Merge them first with the Database Manager (Union), and save the result as external.db.
Database Manager
Tools > MorphMan > Database Manager (Ctrl+D).
- Browse for DB A, Browse for DB B: open two databases.
- A: shows the words of A.
- A-B: the words of A that are not in B.
- B-A: the words of B that are not in A.
- Symmetric Difference: the words in only one of them.
- Intersection: the words in both.
- Union: the words of both, together.
- Extract morphemes from file: makes a database from a text file.
- Save results to db: saves what's shown as a new database.
For example, A = known.db, B = a known database of a course: B-A shows the words of the course you don't know yet.
