Database

The database is the main element the application works with. A database is a collection of related application tables. The root of the database table structure is the master dictionary (MD), which contains pointers to the various tables in the database.

 

The Master Dictionary can be located on any server on the network. The tables are pointed at by D-pointers or Q-pointers.
