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