How To: Use your new database
If you want to use the new database as your main database, you need to set it to be the Active and Default database.

The Default database is the one that is set to Active when you launch PT3.
Select your new database from the list of databases and click on the two buttons highlighted below:
If you want to use the HUD to show stats from the newly created database then you need to add it to the HUD Options.
If you have configured Auto Import to import to specific databases (other than "Current Active Database") and you want to Auto Import to your new database then you will need to update the Databases section of the Auto Import Preferences too.

Select it and you are good to go
