Database Server

The PeopleSoft database is the repository for all information managed by PeopleSoft applications. Not only is application data stored in the database, but PeopleSoft metadata is also maintained in the database.

PeopleSoft Application Designer enables you to define and maintain this metadata that the system uses to drive the run-time architecture. The application server executes business logic based on the PeopleSoft metadata.

At execution time, the application server fetches the most recent application object definitions from the metadata repository, compiles and caches the application object into memory, and executes the business rules based on the definition.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal 8.x currently runs on the following relational database management system (RDBMS) products:

*Microsoft SQL Server for Windows NT/2000.
*Oracle for Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Tru64 Unix, and Windows NT/2000.
*DB2/UDB for OS/390, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows NT.

Note. PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal 8.x can retrieve content from PeopleSoft applications that are running on other RDBMS products, such as Sybase or Informix.

 In general, PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal 8.x can retrieve content from any RDBMS-based application as long as the content that is being retrieved is URL-accessible and is HTML-based.
