CCNC/CCNC Module 5/The database application/First Steps with Databases/Save a Database

Save a Database
To save a database select the Save... or Save As... menu command. A "Save..." will save the current database using its existing name. A "Save As..." will prompt you to save the database using a different name. 

When you are developing a new database it is sometime useful to "Save As..." different version names. This allows you to save a version at a state of design you are happy with. Then you can continue development. If you make a series of changes you are not happy with having multiple versions allows you revert back to the previous state you liked. You may want to consider a versioning number system similar to the following; 
 * Db-Namev0.1 - minor changes
 * Db-Namev0.2 - minor changes
 * Db-Namev1.0 - MAJOR RELEASE
 * Db-Namev1.1 - minor changes
 * Etc...

If you like you can "Browse for other folders" and find another folder location to save the database.
