==Database Access==
There are two ways modes in which the BaseX web application can access databases:* either a dedicated [[Startup#BaseX_Server|database server]] can be manually started,* or '''local mode:''' the web application will access and store data on the local file system.* '''client mode:''' the application communicates with a separately started [[Startup#BaseX_Server|database server]].
The operation mode can be configured as explained further below.
