How to expand a database
This tutorial highlights how to expand a database into separate files. VEGA can't perform directly this operations, but it's possible thanks to a REBOL script.
Scenario:
You have a database (e.g. SDF or Zip) that can't be managed by a software, but it can read the single structures in separated files.
