Foreword

This documents tries to explain how to use Mergeant, a program designed to help database users and administrators in their tasks of maintaining a database and its associated data.

This manual is not yet finished, and might even be somehow out of date with the Mergeant program. If you have any suggestion, please forward it to me.

It is assumed that the user does have some understanding of databases and in particular relationnal databases, and in the queries that can be made to the database system. In particular, knowledge of the Structured Query Language (SQL) can be a good thing.
