1 Introduction
Data storage is the data foundation of the Mendix Runtime. Data storage does the following:
- Connects to supported relational databases
- Stores and retrieves entities and associations from the domain model
- Translates XPath and OQL queries to SQL queries
- Handles security transparently and effectively
2 Supported Databases
For apps deployed to the Mendix Cloud, Mendix uses a PostgreSQL database for storing the data defined in the app domain model(s).
If you are deploying to a different infrastructure, Mendix supports the following databases.
- IBM DB2
- HSQLDB
- MySQL
- Oracle RDBMS
- PostgreSQL
- SAP HANA
- Microsoft SQL Server
