To use one or more object databases, you must prepare your database server by either creating the new databases, or simply making sure that existing databases are available. For each object database you intend to use, you must obtain a username and password with rights to select, insert, and update in the database.

After setting up the object databases, configure the connections to them as described in the Configuring the Database Connections section below.

After configuring the connections, you can use the ModelMaker application to create tables for the objects that you want to store in the databases. In this case, the database users should also have rights to create and drop tables. See the ModelMaker User’s Guide (here and here) for how to create the tables.
