Re: Database Type

RefDB supports two input formats, RIS and risx, but they both end up in the same
database type. RIS has no means to store user-specific data (like AV, RP, N1)
for more than one user, whereas risx does. Therefore risx is a more appropriate
name for the database type. The database has a type tag only for future
compatibility with RefDB versions which may support other reference database
types.

regards,
Markus
