      <span class="mw-headline" id="Overview">Overview</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      As of v2.4.1.1, XOWA has changed the database layout to be more simple and portable. Regular users should not notice any difference. Users who move XOWA wikis between computer systems will notice some benefits.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Details">Details</span>
    </h2>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <b>.xowa</b>: XOWA databases now have the extension <code>.xowa</code> instead of <code>.sqlite3</code>. 
        <ul>
          <li>
            For example, importing Simple Wikipedia now generates a file called <code>simple.wikipedia.org-text.xowa</code> instead of <code>simple.wikipedia.org.000.sqlite3</code>
          </li>
          <li>
            Note that the underlying file is still a sqlite3 database. The extension has just been renamed from <code>.sqlite3</code> to <code>.xowa</code>.
          </li>
          <li>
            Note that all new wikis uploaded to archive.org will be in .xowa format. The same also goes for new torrents.
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>
        <b>Backward compatible</b>: XOWA v2.4.1.1 and higher opens both <code>.xowa</code> wikis and <code>.sqlite3</code> wikis. There is no need to upgrade to the new wikis unless you're planning on using some of the features below. However, users are encouraged to generate new wikis with the new format.
      </li>
      <li>
        <b>One file for most wikis</b>: Small wikis will default to one file instead of several. 
        <ul>
          <li>
            For example, importing simple.wikipedia.org will generate 1 file called <code>simple.wikipedia.org-text.xowa</code>. In contrast, it used to generate 5 files: <code>simple.wikipedia.org.000.sqlite3</code> up to <code>simple.wikipedia.org.004.sqlite3</code>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>
        <b>Multiple 'detachable' files for large wikis</b>: Larger wikis will still generate multiple files. See the Multi-file layout section below for more detail.
      </li>
      <li>
        <b>Databases in same directory</b>: All database files are now under <code>/xowa/wiki/wiki_name</code>. File databases no longer have to go to <code>/xowa/file/wiki_name</code>. The latter was a point of confusion for new users, as well as an inconvenience when trying to move wikis to new machines.
      </li>
    </ul>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Options">Options</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      General behavior for "single" vs "multiple" file import can be customized at <a href="http://xowa.org/wiki/home/page/Options/Import.html" id="xolnki_2" title="Options/Import" class="xowa-visited">Options/Import</a> under Database Layout
    </p>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Multi-file_layout">Multi-file layout</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      Large wikis will still generate multiple files. This includes English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia as well as about a dozen others. The primary reasons are as follows:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <b>FAT32 4 GB limit</b>: FAT32 supports a maximum file size of 4 GB. Although modern operating can support files greater than 4 GB, most flash cards still use a FAT32 file-system. In addition, large files are not supported in other formats (for example, DVDs, archive.org with a 10 GB limit, etc.)
      </li>
      <li>
        <b>Detachable databases</b>: Wikis will still work even if individual databases are deleted or removed. For example, if you don't plan to read the articles in the Wikipedia namespace and want to save 2.6 GB of disk space then you can simply remove the file called "en.wikipedia.org-text-ns.004.xowa".
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Note that detached databases can be reattached simply by moving the file back into its proper location. For example, consider the following:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <span class='path'>C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-xtn.category.core.xowa</span> is deleted. 
        <ul>
          <li>
            Categories will no longer show, but the wiki functions as normal
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>
        <span class='path'>C:\xowa\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\en.wikipedia.org-xtn.category.core.xowa</span> is restored. 
        <ul>
          <li>
            Categories will now work again.
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      The following table provides more information on what happens when a database is detached:

      The formats for wiks and files are interchangable between old and new formats. A user may keep their existing <b>old</b> file databases and still generate <b>new</b> wikis whenever they want to.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example, consider English Wikipedia. All of the following combinations of <b>old</b> and <b>new</b> should work:
    </p>

        <th>
