What is Separation?

Separation strangely enough is taking the consolidated file that was made from many files and separating it back into two or more files with distinctly different purposes. What?

The simple separation model would result in two files. One file would be the interface file of the solution that contains all the user interaction objects like layouts, buttons, scripts, reports and sometimes other objects depending on the user interaction with the database.

The second file contains the data, the inputted information that is referenced by the interface file. The user does not need know the data file even exists as it plays a passive role but ensures the most vital part of the database (the collected information) remains separate from the file that gets the most interaction. There are many advantages to the separation model and only a few are outlined below.

• Simple updates by email especially for vertically marketed solutions

• Back up interface less frequently than the data file

• Local interface with remote data for faster refresh rates

DataMate Solutions LLC prides itself in being market leaders in logistical separation of interface files into remote and local variations, and data files into logical groupings for integrity and security.
