Chapter 3: Database
In this chapter:
3.1: Introduction to the Database
The EDatCat default database is a relational database. It is designed so that you can customize the fields the database uses as well as how it sorts the data. Your data is contained in two files within your data directory- with the extensions .pag and .dir. Do not delete or modify these files manually...doing so will corrupt your database.
We also recommend that you store your data directory (as noted during setup) outside of the viewable html structure of your web site. This database contains all of your product and customer information. If you choose to store this directory under your www root, do so at your own risk. You can protect this directory using a .htaccess file to provide some measure of security.
