Add lesson about the use of database tags

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Using and finding the right database tags is often not very intuitive. And it also depends on the use case, what the recommended way is. E.g. in MC you should always use the one used in the generation while in data the latest one is often but not always preferred.
There are some twiki pages containing information but they look a bit outdated.
E.g. this one:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCb/RecommendedTags

This was suggested in the Starterkit debriefing. We thought it would be good to have a page that covers DB tags and DaVinci versions, because they both have a similar "what version should I use" problem.

Ah very good.

Might be nice to mention the helpful feature in ganga?

Partially solved in #152. I admit we can provide more details in a different place.
