Xinet Database Overview When adding a database to Xinet software, Xinet engineers wanted to preserve those characteristics of earlier versions which made it easy to use and easy to administer, while adding the functionality that only a complete database could bring. One of the challenges Xinet engineers faced was implementing a solution that would not require customers to hire database administrators or programmers. The database runs beneath the Xinet interface, completely integrated within the software to allow much faster searching of large file repositories, the ability to customize fields for metadata, and the possibility to automate tasks using Triggers and Actions. The following topics are provided in this section: • What does a database provide? • How does the Xinet database work? • About the database that Xinet uses • About the database and Search logic • How do you start using the database?
