     1 = Data Store =     2      3 The data store for imip-agent holds calendar data and free/busy information.     4 The following data store types exist:     5      6  * A [[../FileStore|file store]] employing textual files in the filesystem     7      8  * A [[../DatabaseStore|database store]] employing database tables managed     9  by a database management system    10     11 For simplicity, the file store is the default storage mechanism for imip-agent,    12 but the database store is provided as an alternative where different operating    13 characteristics are desired.    14     15 The [[../Configuration|configuration]] files (`config.sh` and `config.txt`) need    16 updating to reflect the choice of data store, with the directory parameters    17 set to appropriate values for the chosen store type.
