Database 5
1.5 Database
tiamo is based on an industrially tested, object-oriented database. The con-
figuration database contains all settings, the user administration, methods and
templates. The determination data are stored in determination databases de-
fined by the user. These databases can be installed locally on the computer used
and represent a simple titration system. However, tiamo is also scaleable and
grows to meet the operating requirements. As soon as data security and central
data administration come to the fore, tiamo can be set up in a client-server con-
figuration, with the tiamo database installed on a server. All measuring and office
computers then act as clients. In this titration network all results are stored cen-
trally and can be viewed and recalculated by all client PCs. In addition, all clients
can access the same pool of methods.
The new database provides all the necessary tools for managing results as well as
for searching for them and grouping them together. Quick Filters allow users to
search through thousands of determinations in a few seconds and present the
search results in a clear manner. Control charts provide a rapid overview of the
chronological sequence of the results.
All the possibilities for recalculation and re-evaluation are available to the us-
ers.
