## Overview of Database Event Categories

### Use

The following event categories exist:

● Event categories whose events are always active and cannot be changed

● Event categories for which you can activate/deactivate and change events. For each of these event categories you can set one or more events to be triggered by the database system when the corresponding defined value is reached (See: Database Manager CLI, event_set).
