The configuration.config file contains the information about connection to the database, file storage and other system settings.
Database files can have different formats depending on the type of the database used:
Firebird:
An .fdb file is the main database file which stores the data. An .fbk file is a back-up file.
Microsoft SQL Server:
An .mdf file is the main database file which stores the data. An .ldf file holds the database transaction log.
Oracle:
A .dbf file is the main database file which stores the data. A .dmp file is a back-up file.
ELMA can work with one configuration at a time only.
