The purpose of the this example is to provide a quick tutorial that introduces the following topics:

• Schema Creation.
• Database Creation.
• Application with Embedded TFS (See Application with Embedded TFS section for explanation)..
• Application accessing Remote TFS (See Application with Client TFS section for explanation).

This introduction is intended to acquaint the reader with some basic components of the RaimaDB system and is not an exhaustive tutorial on all the capabilities.

A description of the program requirements is given in the next section. The database design is then explained followed by the program design. Finally, the program code is described with particular attention paid to the RaimaDB function calls.
