As there is no prescribed data format to which you must adapt your data, you can create data structures that meet your needs. Additionally, Database Builder allows you to define database record format and size. The Database Builder software allows your library to determine how to best index your data for use by your users. Database Builder provides a library of indexing routines that you can use to achieve the results you want. Using Database Builder you can create keyword and phrase indexes from a single field or multiple fields.
Index terms can range from one character to several hundred.
You also have the flexibility to use restrictors to qualify individual documents to limit search results using dates or language. Additionally, you can use ordinals to qualify individual words based on word position. The Database Builder also allows you to provide robust search functionality. Database Builder supports searches limited by fields or value, including year, language, and format. Updates may include new records, or modifications and deletions of existing records.
