This database contains 4 groups of tables

Draft tables : “draft” prefixPublished tables : “pub” prefix Archive tables: “ver” prefixReporting tables have no prefix to enable PS 2010 reports to work as is

Direct database access to “draft”, “pub”, “ver” tables is not supported

Single Project Server Database

PWA Project Management Improvements

Greater parity for the Scheduling Web Part. Improvements include:• Schedule the entire project plan, instead of only the current task, without

clicking Calculate • Cost and material resources can be assigned to tasks.• Tasks can be assigned deadlines.• Formula custom fields are updated immediately while you work with them in

Project Web App.• Tasks can be Fixed Work or Effort-Driven, with full functionality.• When you are editing a project, if no actions are taken for a set amount of

time, the editing session will time out to preserve valuable memory. Timeouts are also necessary to be able to recover from things such as power, network, or disk failures.

• A visual timeline of project tasks is included in the Schedule Web Part.
