Definition
A Database in tiamo is the program part in which the determinations stored in da-
tabases can be displayed, managed, evaluated, re-processed and printed out.
The Databases also include the determination databases which, in contrast to
the Configuration database, can be generated by the user and contain the deter-
mination data. The determination data include the method data used for the de-
termination, the measuring data generated during the determination and the re-
sults calculated from it.
Organization
In the Local server systems (tiamo light, tiamo full) the databases are stored on
the disk drives managed by the computer and are only available for the users
logged in to this computer who have the appropriate rights of access.
In the Client-server system (tiamo multi) the databases are stored on the disk
drives managed centrally by the server and are globally available in the whole cli-
ent/server system, i.e. all users with the appropriate rights of access can use
these databases.
