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 (*.rsr26) 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 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 (including the free Express edition). They can be accessed via an enterprise database connection file with the extension *.rserp.
