Database types
An extension can register a database type, otherwise known as a schema or structure, with ePolicy
Orchestrator. If it does, that extension can provide data to queries, reports, dashboard monitors, and
server tasks. To use this data, you must first register the server with ePolicy Orchestrator.
Database server
An database server is a combination of a server and a database type installed on that server. A server
can host more than one database type, and a database type can be installed on multiple servers. Each
specific combination of the two must be registered separately and is referred to as a database server.
After you register a database server, you can retrieve data from the database in queries, reports,
dashboard monitors, and server tasks. If more than one database using the same database type is
registered, you are required to select one of them as the default for that database type.
Working with database servers
Database servers can be registered, modified, viewed, and deleted.
