Download and install a Database Management System
If you do not have access to an existing installation of a Database Management System (DBMS) you will have to download and install one. CLC Bioinformatics Database can be used with a number of different DMBS implementations. Choosing the right one for you and your organization depends on many factors such as price, performance, scalability, security, platform-support, etc.

You will need to make the appropriate JDBC driver available to the CLC Bioinformatics Database. See Database configurations for details and for additional configuration information for certain DBMSs.
