Database Overview
An EViews database is a set of files containing a collection of EViews objects. In this chapter we describe how to:
• Create a new database or open an existing database.
• Work with objects in the database, including how to store and fetch objects into workfiles, and how to copy, rename and delete objects in the database.
• Use auto-series to work with data directly from the database without creating a copy of the data in the workfile.
• Use the database registry to create shortcuts for long database names and to set up a search path for series names not found in the workfile.
• Perform a query on the database to get a list of objects with particular properties.
• Use object aliases to work with objects whose names are illegal or awkward.
• Maintain a database with operations such as packing, copying, and repairing.
• Work with remote database links to access data from remote sites.
