Graphically, database integrity means that the dataset is maintaining its connectivity and topological consistency.
It also overcomes a restriction that GRASS not be run concurrently by individual users (a built-in safeguard of GRASS for database integrity). To allow multiple sessions, a temporary HOME directory is then created with a GRASS start-up file (.
Disk volume configurations (data location on disk and what volumes are transferred to the remote site) may be critical to ensure database integrity.
Versioning is the mechanism that enables the geodatabase to manage and maintain multiple states while preserving database integrity. It is the basis for multiple users accessing and editing data simultaneously.
