Using the Database Management Tool, I switched to one of the Example Databases to check it out. When I switched back to my regular database, it was empty - no cards or races were there.
Where's my races?

When you switched back to your regular database, you chose the
wrong file. Your Example Databases, both supplied with the software or downloaded later from the website, reside on your
RDSS2 Data folder and you likely switched to a file named
data.db in that folder, which is empty.
Your 'regular database' however is stored in
RDSS Data (i.e. c:\rdss\data), the location for data originally for RDSS1 (V0.99.2), the older RDSS version, and shared with RDSS2. To get your data back, Switch using the Database Tool and navigate the file system from the RDSS2 Data folder to the
RDSS folder, then the
Data sub-folder and select the
data.db file there.
That's your regular data.
In fact, it is much simpler to simply leave the database RDSS2 is using as c:\RDSS2\Data\data.db (the empty one) - then exit RDSS2 and
move your regular database file (named data.db) from your
RDSS Data folder to the
RDSS2 Data folder and overwrite the empty one there. Then, ALL your data will be in the same folder and much easier when switching among the various alternate databases.
I made a video explaining that, demonstrating how to create a NEW database, and how to recover from problems if you try to switch to a file which is not a database file (i.e. you won't be able open RDSS2).
Here's the
Database Management Tool Video in the
RDSS2 Videos section.
