The ODBC interface lists the databases available to this project.
Clear Security
The files are password protected. The Internal Audit ID only has write access so we cannot accidentally screw up a file.

The ACL ODBC interface automatically identifies and formats the fields. If a large file is involved fields can be excluded.
Save File
