Saada is not a database, it is a data base generator.

 What is Saada

• Saada is a database generator.
• Saada itself never hosts data.
• Saada is just used to build one (or more) empty database(s).
• Once the database (the SaadaDB) is created, one do not need Saada anymore.

• The SaadaDB
• A SaadaDB is a database created by Saada.
• It is a Java layer on the top of a relational database (MySQL/PostgresQL/SQLIte more about ).
• It makes very easy data management operations.
• If you do not want to use SQLite, either MySQL or PostgresQL must be installed before.
• It also needs the Web application serveur Apache Tomcat to be installed.

 About he tutorial

• This (beginer’s) tutorial uses default setup as often as possible .
• Its goal is to quickly direct users to a working database.
• Once your first SaadaDB is working, you can find here how to build databases matching your requirements.

 Warning

• This tutorial supposes you agree with using SQLite.
• It also supposes you run Tomcat from you own account. That is satisfactory now, but that is not really secure for an operational server.
