 The **//System Database//** will be maintained by the model developers and is identical in all ENVI-met installations. **The user is not supposed to do any changes to this database!**. Moreover, this database will automatically be re-created with software updates, so any user-added content will be lost.  The **//System Database//** will be maintained by the model developers and is identical in all ENVI-met installations. **The user is not supposed to do any changes to this database!**.

 The **//User Database//** is the place where you can place all **your** personal data and settings. ENVI-met will not touch this database, even not when updating the software. However, you are responsible for the content of this database. If you add information that doesn't make sense e.g non-physical material properties, you will probably crash your simulation. The User Database is used for all projects unless you specifiy an individual project-centered database (see next paragraph). The **//User Database//** is the place where you can place all **your** personal data and settings.

 However, if you have a lot of different projects or very specific projects, it might not be the best idea to store all the user-defined items in one big database. Especially if you want to adjust certian properties of items, e.g. soil materials, for certain simulations or projects, it might be undesirable that these material changes will effect all other simulations as well - which will be the case if edited in the global User Database. However, if you have a lot of different projects or very specific projects, it might not be the best idea to store all the user-defined items in one big database.
