Hmm ; maybe to make it a little more constructive ; what are your problems ?
Could you elaborate a little ?

I think the manual really is too little and doesn't explain things well but I
didn't experience any problems with the database support without even reading

As both the programmer of the tiger engine and of the chess partner gui read and
post here I wouldn't be too surprised if you found fast help and advice.
