Guide Section: Processing Object Data | EASAP Tree: DATA PROCESSING branch / EVENT PROCESSING branch / PROCESSES branch

DATABASE has two functions:

• To identify a database, and
• As a Parent to READ's and WRITE's.

DATABASE requires a database already be configured on the EASA Server by an Administrator, as described in Configuring Connections to External Databases.

While it's is possible to configure DATABASE→READ under a DATA PROCESSING, this should never be used in practice: the EASAP will constantly generate database reads at an enormous performance penalty.
