DualShield Platform uses a SQL database as its data store, and it includes MySQL database engine in its installation package.
It is also possible to use an external SQL server as the data store for DualShield. The following SQL servers are supported:
- MySQL
- Microsoft SQL
- Oracle SQL
- IBM DB2
At the installation, you can accept to use the internal database engine or can opt out to use an external SQL server. If you opt out to use your own SQL server, then you will need a SQL service account by which your DualShield server will connect to your SQL server. The account must be able to create databases and tables on the SQL server.
