Technical FAQs
I am having problems using a PostgreSQL database with GoldMine. Can you help?
Unfortunately, while use of PostgreSQL databases in GoldMine is possible, we do not fully support this feature. If a problem with PostgreSQL occurs we would recommend
use of SQLite instead, which is fully supported. If the problem persists, please forward details of how to reproduce the error with SQLite to support@ccdc.cam.ac.uk.
A useful resource for PostgreSQL administrative questions can be found at:

I get an error when creating a goldmine from SDF files
Certain tags in input files cause GoldMine problems. GoldMine fails to create
the database giving an error "There was an error creating ... near ...
: syntax error"
The following table notes these tags, and a suitable alternative:
| Problem tag | Alternative tag |
| SET-1 PLATE | SET_1 PLATE |
| logP(o/w) | logP_o_w |
| -logEC50 | _logEC50 |
