What just happened?
We just opened the Settings screen for the World database and viewed its content.
You can see the different setting parameters as the database folder and active bundles for the database.
When creating a new database, the PeriodicBackup bundle is activated by default for the new database. The Raven/ActiveBundles metadata key indicates the list of all the activated bundles when the database is created. In this case we did not activate any other bundles.
The System database settings
The settings for the System database are different from the other databases. It is possible to edit this document but this is not recommended because this can damage the database. If you need to modify the System database settings, you can use the integrated editor which allows you to define the user's access level to a particular database or define the API keys when using RavenDB with the OAuth protocol to authorize user and set its privileged access to the database.
