System Administrator’s Guide

Using the Default Multi Db

The first time that you log on

The file name of the default, central Multi central database is: “REMCentral.mdb”. You can locate it by browsing through the folder holding the Multi software.

The next time that you log on

The next time that you use Admin, the same Multi db is used. A Multi db can be renamed; see Renaming a Multi Db, p. 240.

Contrasting Db Engines

Tip

Quick contrast of database templates

Microsoft Access. You do not need to have Microsoft Access installed on your system to use the default Multi Central db immediately. The only limitation is for larger installations; an MS-Access db may not be able to hold the number of database records.

SQL Server or MSDE. These database engines require preparation and database expertise. They may involve converting a Multi Central db. These db engines are also designed to hold a larger number of records. A database administrator or network administrator installs a database server on your network. To create a db, you may need to know the database password. If use of this password is restricted, let the database administrator either create the new Multi database from your machine, or run Admin on the Multi SA’s PC to create the database from there.

Consulting MIS personnel

The Multi SA may need a database administrator to advise on or decide upon the database (db) engine used in your Multi system.

Multi SAs are not required to have database expertise, nor train for it.
