PFX-SAMP databases

This section describes the PFX-SAMP databases. Three types of databases interact to represent sample course descriptions for a fictitious university information system:

  • the primary DEDB that contains information about university courses, instructors, and students
  • four secondary index databases, each of which provides a unique alternate method for accessing course information
  • the journal database that is used to record update activity to the primary and index DEDBs

The primary and journal DEDBs are used during the following activities:

  • an online practice session with PFX-SAMP to become familiar with Fast Path Indexer/EP
  • verifying correct installation of Fast Path Indexer/EP on your system
