When you install the program (FULL Installation), is installed in your computer or on a local PC, a database of examples, including the engine Firebird databases that will allow you to start navigating through the program and become familiar with it quickly.
The access to this database of examples is immediately after the installation and activation of your license and given that it is located on your local computer, you don't need to know the programs start by creating a new database, make connections to a database on the network, etc..
About this database you will be able to make changes, add equipment, add parts, etc., making the learning process.
Once you decide to start the deployment you will need to create a new database where you will upload your information, or if you are already a user of a previous version, you will be able to migrate your information to version 10.

Server IP, user name and password of the database engine
Today, virtually all companies have at least one IT professional who is responsible for, among many other functions to manage the data and servers of the company. Among their functions include the administration of a database engine, which, for security reasons, has access by means of a user name and a password. If not, any person could enter the network, and provide high-databases, query, modify and even delete confidential information of the company.
For example:
| DATABASE ENGINE | ADMINISTRATOR USER BY DEFAULT | PASSWORD (Known only to the manager of IT) |
| MySQL | root | ****** |
| Microsoft SQL-Server | sa | ****** |
| Oracle | System | ****** |
| MariaDB | root | ****** |
| Firebird | SYSDBA | ****** |
When you create a database, or a new connection on the MP, the program prompts you for the server name or IP where you will create or is the database to which you want to connect to, as well as a user name and password.
The username and password that here we ask, are precisely those that allow access to the database engine permissions privileges to create the database.
Now, the administrator of the database can also create different user accounts to allow access to more people by giving them privileges and permissions custom.
With the aim of not to use the administrator user of IT and its respective password each time that the department of maintenance required to create a database or a connection to an existing database, it is recommended that the IT administrator create a user account specifically for the maintenance department.
A single user account to the database engine is sufficient for the creation and connection of multiple databases.
The username and password that here is requested, you do not have any relationship with the licenses of use are acquired or the amount of users that can access the database, so that a single user account can be enough, because in this case it refers specifically to the user and password of the database engine.
