Home ▸ Orbeon Forms Features

Categories of databases

We have two categories of databases:

• XML: eXist
• Relational: Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, DB2

NOTE: As of Orbeon Forms 4.4, the implementation of relational support is common to all databases. There used to be separate implementation for each relational database.
