+<concept id="GUID-2D93660B-8206-5D20-85F5-6FFCF4549127" xml:lang="en"><title>Persistent
+stores</title><shortdesc>A store is persistent if you can close it, re-open it, and then
+gain access to the same data.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>A persistent store has the concept of a root stream. The root stream is,
+in effect, the starting point from which all others streams within the store
+can be found.</p>
+<p>Before closing a persistent store you have created, you must set the ID
+of the root stream. After you have opened the persistent store, the first
+thing you must do is look up the root stream ID. You can then open the root
+stream and start reading data from the store.</p>
+<p>Persistent stores are represented by the abstract class <codeph>CPersistentStore</codeph>.
+This class, derived from <codeph>CStreamStore</codeph> has the root stream
+ID and expands on the abstract framework provided by <codeph>CStreamStore</codeph>,
+by adding behaviour for setting and retrieving the root stream ID.</p>
+<p>File stores are an example of persistent stores.</p>
+<p>The following diagram shows the idea of a persistent store with a root
+stream:</p>
