l Microsoft Access
l Database file (mdb)must be local to the PlanetPress Workflow computer. It cannot
be located on a network drive or another server.
l Total database size is limited to 4GBof data.
l Total size of a single table is 2GB.
l May be unstable in large implementations.
l MySQL
l Database can be in any location, but performance will depend on the speed of the
connection between PlanetPress and the MySQLserver.
l MySQL's performance has been slower than SQLServer and SQLServer Express
during our tests.
l By default, MySQLis configured not to allow any SQLrequest larger than 16 megs.
l In the event where 2 requests are made simultaneously on the same record,
MySQLwill queue one of the requests and execute it once the first one is done. In
extremely rare cases this may cause a timeout on very large requests.
l MSSQL(Microsoft SQLServer)
l All versions of the SQLServer are supported, including all Express versions.
l Database can be in any location, but performance will depend on the speed of the
connection between PlanetPress Production and the SQLserver.
l In the event where 2 requests are made simultaneously on the same record,
SQLServer will drop the most complex request. Resubmitting the PGCfor
processing should resolve this issue. This, however, should happen only rarely.
l When configuring the ODBCconnection, your must use the Microsoft version of the
driver, and not the Native SQLversion of the driver. This is due to a technical
limitation of the native driver that interferes with the PlanetPress Suite database
requests.

PlanetPress Capture Database. The number of Anoto Digital Pens you may register on this
screen depends on the licenses available within your PlanetPress Capture License.
