You can use a database-server, instead of a local file. With the help of this server, several installations of this program can use the database.

Today we support "cubeSQL" and "PostgreSQL". The cubeSQL Server has the advantage that the same file can be used for the local installation. On the other hand PostgreSQL can be used free of charge.

At the moment, cubeSQL can be used with up to 2 connections free of charge (02.2016). You find more information on the homepage of cubeSQL.

If the server is not yet installed, it must be installed and configured. Please use the instructions included with the server. We need an own database on the server for "Mac-MoVe" ("Win-MoVe", "Lin-MoVe"). Please create one. This program will create the necessary tables and indexes. Furthermore, an independent user must be created for each installation of this program. Otherwise data may be lost.

If already a local database exists, select the menu "Database" from "File". Here, you select the server type and "New...". If there is no local database, select the server type from the dialog.

In both cases you get the following dialog:

After entering the data and pressing "OK", the connection to the server will be established. If you selected "New", all tables will be created, now. After that, you can enter and modify data with this program, as usual.

Only experienced users should use this concept. We can't support the server.

The integrated functions for backup can't be used. The backup must be done by the server.
For each instance of this program an own user must exist on the database-server. If two instances work with the same user, you may lose data.
Two persons must not edit the same entry at the same time.

With a change from PostgreSQL to a local database, the data can be copied to the local database. When using cubeSQL, the file from the server can be used local - without conversation.
