NexusDB

NexusDB is simple, fast, reliable, and free, making it the preferred database in most offices. To use VSys One in standalone mode (on a laptop, for example, not connected to a common server) you'll always use NexusDB.

Work with local data files directly

Standalone in this case means that VSys One uses its data files directly, with the files usually stored on the same machine that VSys runs on. Only one copy of VSys can be running at a time, but this mode does not require any other programs to be running or any special configuration.

Folder with data files

The folder on your hard drive or network which contains the .nx1 files which represent VSys One's data.

Connect to a NexusDB server

Server mode connects to a remote or local copy of NexusDB server, rather than the data files directly. This is a more robust mode and allows an unlimited number of users to simultaneously access the same data. Using NexusDB server requires that you first configure NexusDB server itself and establish the data folder and alias. VSys One will automatically create the empty tables within your database the first time it starts up.

Field name	Description
Server address	IP address (e.g. 192.168.2.1) or name of the machine (e.g. vsysdata.myorg.com) where `nxServer.exe` is running.
Server name	Normally "NexusDB".
Database alias	The alias is the name that you gave the database when setting up NexusDB server, not the folder that the files are stored in.
NexusDB server configuration requires you to log in before accessing data	If you defined users in NexusDB server, check this box. VSys users will be prompted for a user name and password when they connect to the database. Note: users must have "Read" and "Write" access to NexusDB server for VSys One to function properly.
NexusDB port	Leave this blank to use the default port of 16000, or enter a specific port number if you've configured NexusDB server to use a different one.
Default server login ID	When users are prompted to log in to NexusDB, this ID will be provided by default.
