Setting up RDBMS databases
The Surround SCM Server database and mainline databases are stored in a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). The default RDBMS is PostgreSQL, which you can install with Surround SCM. See About Surround SCM databases for information about how Surround SCM data is stored.
Surround SCM data can also be stored in Microsoft SQL Server (ODBC) , which allows you to leverage your existing database administration process. See Surround SCM RDBMS Support for information about supported platforms and database versions.
Review the following information for help setting up databases for use with Surround SCM.
Helix ALM License Server data is stored in a separate database. By default, the license server database is stored in SQLite, but other RDBMS types are supported. See the Helix ALM License Server help for information about setting up license server databases.
