BOINC uses a relational database to keep track of participants, work
|
|
|
|
|
and result. The reference implementation uses MySQL, but any SQL
|
|
|
|
|
database can be used.

|
In boinc/html_user/ there is a file called db_name containing only the
|
|
|
|
|
name of the database for that project. Each BOINC project will have a different database
|
|
|
|
|
name. This allows for access to different databases through the webpages of projects.
