Database Server Requirements
WorldServer stores information about your WorldServer installation (for example, your workflow definitions, translation memory, terminology database, and users) in a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
The WorldServer database can reside on the same machine as the WorldServer server. However, we recommend that you install the database server on a dedicated computer, and that you locate applications and the content management system on other machines.
This section documents the supported configurations for the back-end WorldServer database server.
