The data stored are identical to that found in the `Result` (.sir) file (Table ), and thus can be used to reconstruct any of the result files normally found in the Result folder of each calculation. This parsed data is significantly more compact than the raw output from the calculation, and so the formatted output from many thousands of calculations can be stored in the database without consuming large amounts of file space. The database can then be queried using the `digichem database` command, and Digichem provides tools to insert data, using `digichem database insert`, delete data, using `digichem database delete`, and extract results using `digichem database search`.
