The <SMALL>SCRAM</SMALL>&nbsp;database file is called <TT>project.lookup</TT> and 
contains lookup tables for the various projects that may be 
installed on your system. The database is read
during a <TT>scram list</TT> command.  Usually, the database file
lives in the <TT>scramdb</TT> directory of
your <SMALL>SCRAM</SMALL>&nbsp;installation area and is accessible to all <SMALL>SCRAM</SMALL>&nbsp;
versions. The database directory is created automatically at
installation time. The default location can be overridden with the
environment variable <TT>SCRAM_LOOKUPDB</TT>.

<P>
<DL>
<DT><STRONG>Installing a project in the database</STRONG></DT>
<DD>
<BR>
A project can be installed into the database using the command

<P>
<TT>scram install</TT>

  [<I>project_name</I>] [<I>project_version</I>]

<P>
This command is usually executed in the project area of the
project (and version) to be installed.  If the project name and
version are given then these will be used in the database in place of
the project defaults.

<P>
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>Removing an installed project from the database</STRONG></DT>

<BR>
A project can be removed from the database using the command

<P>
<TT>scram remove</TT>

  <TT>project_name</TT>&nbsp;<TT>project_version</TT>

<P>
This command can be executed anywhere but will only work if the
user has write permissions on the <TT>project.lookup</TT> file.

</DD>
<DT><STRONG>Linking other databases</STRONG></DT>
<DD>
<BR>
Other databases can be linked to the local installation database
  using the command

<P>
<TT>scram db link</TT>

&nbsp;&lt;<I>otherdb</I>&gt; 

<P>
This is often useful if a local copy of a project is maintained
for development but a released project is required for access to
configuration information and libraries. All projects listed in the
linked database will be shown by <TT>scram list</TT>.  Note that
<TT>scram install</TT> and <TT>scram remove</TT> commands will not
affect databases that are linked in.
