| - | + | As Metis Smart Suite Database can be located either locally or remotely form the application and especially that Metis Smart is able to connect different database from one installation, the application requires all connections to be configured within Metis Smart Suite. The SQL Management sub-menu enables the administrator to define both SQL Connections and Accesses. SQL Access are settings using a combination of Connections to simplify the slection of appropriate Connections when defining a Functionality Profile. Split between two tabs, the user can add, delete, edit, preview connections and accesses in this menu, as well as transfer data from one connection to another and maintaining the various databases. | |
