-====== [LOCALDB] Section ====== 
  
-<fs smaller>Related Stuff: [[Database Files|Databases]]</fs> 
-  
-===== Purpose ===== 
-In addition to the global database files that are available for all simulation projects (see e.g. [[Plant Database PLANTS.DAT|PLANTS.DAT]], [[Sources Database SOURCES.DAT|SOURCES.DAT]]) you can define local databases belonging to a specific simulation or series of simulation. This should prevent the global database files from growing endlessly long and also it provides the option to add plants and sources to a simulation area without messing around with merging different versions of databases. 
- 
-This option is available only for the plant and the sources database, for soils and soil profiles it is normally not necessary to add too many definitions in order to run the model.  
- 
-Local databases will be added to the global ones stored in the \input folder (in case of the sources) or somewhere else (in case of the plant database).  
- 
-//**You MUST have the global databases available in order to add local databases.**\\ 
-If ENVI-met has trouble in opening the global database files it assumes that there is something wrong in general and will also not load the additional local databases although all the data needed might be in it!// 
- 
-If you have duplicate information in the global and local database (same ID), the global database has the higher priority! 
- 
-To use local databases, add a [LOCALDB] section to your configuration file: 
- 
-<file> 
-00: [LOCALDB] ______________________________________ 
-01: Filename additional plants         =[mydir]\MyPlants.dat 
-02: Filename additional sources        =c:\myplants.dat 
-</file> 
-  
-===== What do the lines mean? ===== 
-=== 01: Filename additional plants (Default: none) === 
-Specify the location of the additional local plant database you want to use.\\ 
-The file must have the same format as the global [[Plant Database PLANTS.DAT|Plant Database]].\\ 
-The location can be given as direct path or using an alias. 
- 
-=== 02: Filename additional sources (Default: none) === 
-Specify the location of the additional local source database you want to use.\\ 
-The file must have the same format as the global [[Sources Database SOURCES.DAT|Sources Database]].\\ 
-The location can be given as direct path or using an alias.
