Each database supported by PPM can be accessed via JDBC. The JDBC driver consists of one or multiple Java archives. The relevant Java archive files (jar) must be copied manually to <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\drivers.
Different databases in one PPM installation
In a PPM installation, you can address database systems of different manufacturers for different clients. The relevant Java archive files (jar) must be copied manually to <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\drivers.
Only one JDBC driver can be specified for a particular database type. It is impossible to address different versions of a database type, e.g., Oracle 9 and Oracle 10 with different JDBC driver versions.
