| 49 | * Database - this saves your datamatrix in the regular MySQL database, the storage directory is not used. |
| 50 | * Binary - this saves your datamatrix in a special binary format that is optimized for big data. You can find it inside the storage directory. |
| 51 | * Plain - this saves your datamatrix in a plain CSV file, suitable for small datasets and editing by hand. You can find it inside the storage directory. |
| 52 | * Maybe more to come! |
