Relational database management system
The Learning Management System stores user, course, and assessment data in a relational database, which consists of a series of tables. The database management software can reside on the same machine as the Learning Management System software for a small installation, but generally resides on a separate machine for data security and performance reasons. A Learning Management System specific database is created with the database management system and then customized during the Learning Management System installation. This database interacts with the Learning Management System Server. When users run the Learning Management System, the Learning Management System Server initiates database transactions to retrieve and update information about course structure, user permissions, and assessment questions. For more information on the Learning Management System and its many components, refer to the rest of the documentation shipped with this product.
