The Database manager utility provides comprehensive framework to manage all of the DSS data aspects. It allows the DSS user to undertake the following:
1. Create a connection to the database server
2. Create, update, backup , restore and delete DSS databases
3. Create, import , export, remove and assign users to workspaces
4. Create, edit and remove DSS users
All of the above is done without launching the DSS interface, in a stand-alone application.
