The Connect database
The Connect database is the database back-end used by Connect itself when processing jobs.
It can be either the MySQL instance provided by the Connect installer, or a pre-existing
(external) instance (see "Database Considerations" on page17).
All generated items (records, content items etc.) are stored in this database .
Note
Email content items are not stored in the Connect database.
A clean-up of the database is performed at regular intervals in accordance with the settings
(see "Clean-up Service preferences" on page302).
The File Store
Connect has its own File Store which it uses for transient files.
The Clean-up service takes care of removing obsolete files when those files are not marked as
permanent (see "Clean-up Service preferences" on page302).
