Honestly, I am still just trying to get my head around using databases. I use Rev for processing text in all sorts of creative ways at work - vastly increases our productivity - but, I know next to nothing about database use.
The logical process, to me, would be the following: - Create database file - Populate it with columns - Set up my application to use an embedded database app to write and retrieve data as needed Say, for example, if I wanted to experiment with Valentina (knowing that the demo version only lasts 10 minutes before the app has to be restarted). I could not fool around with it, without having an existing file to work with. So, I thought to myself, my first step must be to create a database file. I am not committed to doing it in a script, I just don't know how else to access the embedded database driver functionalities. Should I just find a blank database file somewhere on the web and download it?
