Database Application

WorkShop does not provide direct access to industry standard data base applications. The

word “database” is used here for the convenience of describing the WorkShop function &

operation, which emulates a database process. The WorkShop Database Application

provides a method for writing on cards using data from two files. The two files are the

Database file, which is a csv type file and the Usage file, which is a txt type file. The csv

file can be an extracted or exported file from a standard database application.

Both files are used together and are required for the Database Application card

writing process. Both files must have the same filename and both files must be

located in the same file folder.

The Database file shown in the example is an Excel csv file type. The file was created

using Excel; the Excel file was saved as a .csv type. Any application program that can be

used to create the rows and columns of information to be written to cards can be used to

produce the WorkShop Database file. The final database file must be saved as a csv type

file for WorkShop database operations.
