Database Configuration
White-Box is an ASP (Active Server Pages) application using a set of ACCESS databases to store and retrieve information. These databases are usually held in a private folder so that they can be accessed by the applications, but not downloaded through the web browser.
The White-Box system uses an administration panel protected by the users login to setup and administer the back office to these data files which hold the products database, members database, customer orders and packing calculator records. All modules of the application have beed developed as Drop-In modules and are accessed through the same administration panel.
The database files are as follows :-
- config.mdb
- dborder2000.mdb
- dbpayment.mdb
- dbshop2000.mdb
- email.mdb
- members.mdb
- packing.mdb
- purchasedb.mdb
- reviews.mdb
- trending.mdb
| |
- Global configuration
- Orders database
- Payment Gateway
- Products Database
- Email messages
- Membership database
- Packing configuration
- Purchase Orders (STOCK)
- Product Reviews (REVIEW)
- Sales Trending (TREND)
|
These database files are used to cross reference information between different parts of the White-Box applications and by keeping the databases seperate, White-Box reduces the risk of database becoming to big and causing problems in running larger corporate systems.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the databases work efficiently under load and are optimised to ensure that the speed of the web site is not impared by the databases.
An efficient structure ensures an efficient delivery of information from the system.
