If you add the locked data- base to the Keychain manager, when you log in to OS9 with the keychain manager, the locked database is automatically unlocked by the Manager. You may also wish to manually unlock your databases, too. That is strictly up to you. 4. Multiple Databases - Naming convention When you select “New…
