Introduction

Welcome to the Emdros Database Designer's Guide. This guide will help you in designing your Emdros database. It will also help you in the task of populating your Emdros database.

The Guide has three parts:

1. Foundations explains some important concepts.
2. Schema: explains how to write a schema.
3. Population: explains how to populate your database.

To navigate, either use the menu on the left, or use the "prev(ious)", "up", and "next" links at the bottom. The "next" links will take you straight through the guide, whereas "up" will go up one level in the document hierarchy. "prev" will take you to the previous page.
