easyAsPieDB allows you to design Record Types representing information you need to keep track of. A Record Type assigns a name and layout to a complex piece of information made up from multiple simpler pieces. For example, instead of saying: "a first name, a last name and a phone number", you can simply say: a Contact.

• When you want to create a list of "first names, last names and phone numbers", you instruct easyAsPieDB to create a Table of the Contact Record Type.
• If you need to change the layout of a Contact Table you already have, for example by adding a Date for a Birthday, all you need to do is change the Contact Record Type. All your Tables of the Contact Record Type will be updated automatically.

easyAsPieDB replaces traditional, structural information design concepts such as "related tables" and "foreign keys" with object-oriented, intuitive concepts such as Composition and References.

• In Composition, one Record is an integral part of another Record, for example an Address inside a Contact.
• A Reference is an association of one Record with another Record, for example an Order referencing the purchased Product.

You can not only design a custom Product (e.g., with Text and an Image), not only design a specialized Order (e.g., with a Date and a Signature), but also have each new Order specify a known Product, effortlessly.

easyAsPieDB allows you to group information that is related in a way that's meaningful to you into Collections.

• A Collection can include any number of Tables to be grouped together.
• A Collection can include other Collections, thus organizing information hierarchically into a tree-like structure of containers of unlimited depth, analogous to traditional files and folders.
