PLA: Setting up the Database

Posted by bmestep on February 25, 2008

Updated installation documentation for PLA (PIX Logging Architecture).

If the PLA documentation leaves you looking for the DUMMIES guide, checkout my mini-article on BetterTechInfo regarding PLA Database Setup.  

I am getting involved in a new business venture and decided to publish some early projects / work to help out folks using PLA.

Be advised the construction dust is everywhere!
