In most scenarios, the best choice is to executes ScriptoMate documents in memory. This provides the best performance, as no data need to be stored in a physical database. In some scenarios however, persistency is required. This can be changed in the Document database settings.


For a persistent database setup, set [DatabaseSetup] to [ScriptFile] or [GlobalFile], and also set [AutoSynchronise] to [True]


The [ClearDataOnStart] setting (Document general) indicates whether or not the database tables will be cleared before executing a document.


A Script file is a database that is specific for the current document.


A Global file is a database that is shared amongst multiple documents.
