Does DataMiner require a separate database to be installed and maintained? Is it part of the deployment? What database(s) are being used?

DataMiner can run on one of two local databases, MySQL & Cassandra. Both are included in the DataMiner installer, but Cassandra is installed by default. They are installed and created automatically during the DataMiner installation.

You can also install an Elasticsearch database next to a Cassandra system. This is not installed by default but can be installed manually from within DataMiner Cube.

You can also set up a central database (for example for sharing data from DataMiner with a third party application).
For central database types, the following types are supported:

  • MySQL
  • MSSQL
  • Oracle

Central databases require manual installation and configuration.
