4.3. Database Components

This section provides information on all possible types of DBMS supported by CUBA platform. Furthermore, a script-based mechanism, which allows creating a new database and keeping it up-to-date throughout the entire cycle of the development and operation of the application, is described.

Database components belong to the Middleware block; other blocks of the application do not have direct access to the database.

Some additional information on working with the database is provided in Section 5.5, “Designing the Database” and Section 6.5, “Creating and Updating the Database in Production”.
