Vendor Tutorials: Home

This is a place to store links to vendor tutorials.

A related item is the "alt" database descriptions on this page. These can be copied and modified as you wish when re-using database assets. These alternative descriptions emphasize quick user tips rather than the marketing verbiage common in descriptions provided by vendors.

Below are "alternative database descriptions" that can be copy/pasted or adapted when mapping database assets. As with any assets that are mapped, the description field is customizable. These alternative descriptions focus on instructions for "how to get started" using a particular database. 

These "alt" descriptons are intended to provide a replacement, if desired, for the vendor marketing verbiage in the default descripton fields in Databases A-Z.
