D.1 The embedded database system and processes
Multiple processes run collaboratively on the OS to manage access to the embedded database. This management framework is called the embedded database system, and each process in the framework is called an embedded database process.
As shown in the figure below, the embedded database system uses several embedded database processes. In the embedded database system, some embedded database processes operate together with other embedded database processes, and some embedded database processes operate independently. For details about the process configuration for the embedded database and the number of processes, see B.4 Embedded database processes.

In this manual, the embedded database system might also be called embedded database server or, simply, embedded database. When a single embedded database process is explained, the term embedded database process is used to clarify that a process is meant.
