Is there a wiki or something about PE?

I'm trying to setup a custom database specifically for the WESTPAC battleset.

So what I'm trying to do is delete all the installations in the installations table say in Algeria or Belgium. This way I'll have room to add all the missing bases in Asia.

So my question is. How can I delete a base(installation) cleanly without screwing up the entire database?

the best/safest way is to rewrite/change bases

create a country for example "zzremove"

to do this simply write "zzremove" in the countryfield of an base you want to "delete"/change.

You will be asked "zzremove" is not in the country list" do you want to add it yes/no" hit yes.

Now you can change the country for all bases you don�t need anymore.

sort bases by country and pick one of the "zzremove" bases and change all nescessary values.

WHAT YOU STRICLTY NEED TO AVOID ARE GAPS(missing entrys) in the Annexes(Annexnumbers)

a complete deletion is nearly impossible without screwing upt sceens or the db.
