Database Service Assumptions

  1. In the long run, the database is going to need to be installed as a service on both Windows and Mac systems. However, this requires an installer program to set up properly, and we are not going to be using an installer until Phase 2E.
  2. For Phase 2C, the "database service" must be started by having the user start a batch file to simulate having a database service.
    1. The user will be able to stop this service by typing "Ctrl-C" in the Command window on Windows PCs
    2. The user will be able to stop the service by killing the process on Mac computers
  3. Phase 2C is being estimated with the assumption that this is an acceptable solution (until we use an installer in Phase 2E)
  4. The Test Server will be configured as a network database server, and users will be able to set up and use connections to it
