>    Databases can be located in many different places: on a connected
    handheld, in a local directory, or even on an SQL server.  Support
    for specific database access methods is provided by plug-ins in
    the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>Store</TT
> collection.  The core code for all
    <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>Store</TT
> plug-ins is found in the <TT
CLASS="CLASSNAME"
>Pyrite.Store</TT
>
    module.
  </P
><P
>    <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>Store</TT
> plug-ins operate in a two-tiered fashion.  Each
    plug-in represents a general type of database storage, and can be
    used to generate objects representing a particular "live" instance
    of that storage.  For example, the <TT
CLASS="CLASSNAME"
>Directory</TT
> plug-in
    represents the general concept "databases stored in a local
    directory", and it generates store objects which can be used to
    access a specific, existing directory.  The base class for
    <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>Store</TT
> plug-ins is <TT
CLASS="CLASSNAME"
>Pyrite.Store.Store</TT
>; the
    base class for live store objects is
    <TT
CLASS="CLASSNAME"
>Pyrite.Store.BaseStore</TT
>.
