The first step to create a new application based on DataSoul platform is the same of all the normal “Data-Centric” applications: "the database".
In our case, we use the Northwind database, which is distributed with SQL Server 2000.
Metadata are an important component of the platform, as formerly
described.
They are stored in appropriate tables on the database itself. With the
platform, some scripts for metadata tables creation are distributed for SQL
Server, ORACLE and an Access database.
In this step, we use “Configurator” to set the connection to the database we want to create the application on.
