-To use LevelDB, follow these steps:
-
-1) Add the following to your rippled.cfg file:
-[node_db]
-LevelDB
-
-2) If you have no databases, you can just start rippled. If you have
-databases you don't care about, just remove them. Otherwise, start rippled
-with '--import' to import your existing hashnode database into LevelDB.
-After you import the hashnode database, either delete (or move) the
-'hashnode.db', 'hashnode.db-shm' and 'hashnode.db-wal' files from your
-database directory. Do not touch the LevelDB files in the 'hashnode'
-directory.
