Database
Two elements define a database:
■Database name - Internal reference used when accessing the contents of the database.
■Database path - File system location of the database directory.
A session in your template-based product requires one or more databases which can function as either read/write or read-only repositories. In addition to the databases defined in the configuration files and accessed at start-up, during a session, you can add an existing database to those currently in use.
One of the databases must function as the
Default Writable Database.
At start-up, your template-based product stores databases defined in the configuration files and existing on the file system in the database list, a mechanism internal to your template-based product, which maintains information for use during the session.
