Database Types
ReliaSoft desktop applications offer two types of databases for storing projects and analysis data. The type of database you choose will depend on the requirements of your organization.
Standard databases (*.rsr24) are basic database files for single- or multi-user environments. Implementation of a database server is not required; however, there are limits on the amount of data and the number of simultaneous users.
Enterprise databases require implementation and support of Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, but they are a more robust platform that can store much more analysis information in the same database and support access by many more simultaneous users. ReliaSoft applications are compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP3) or later and Oracle 18c or later (including the free Express editions of all of these). They can be accessed via an enterprise database connection file with the extension *.rserp.
Note: Synthesis files (*.rsf) cannot be created but you can still open Synthesis files created in Version 2018 and earlier. Such files will be converted to standard databases upon opening.
