One database can have multiple RRAs.  Each RRA stores data for
all DSes.

Each RRA should store data at a different time interval, or with
different properties (i.e. AVERAGE, MAX, MIN ...)

One database with multiple DSes: you need to update all the
values at the same time:

rrdtool update database.rrd timestamp:value1:value2:value3

If he wants to update each DS separately, he needs multiple databases:

rrdtool update database1.rrd timestamp:value1
rrdtool update database2.rrd timestamp:value2
rrdtool update database3.rrd timestamp:value3
