WCM software is installed on a server and data is stored in a MySQL database. WCM users access the application from PC workstations equipped with browsers on the network.
A connector is a database driver used to exchange data between the user interface and your business database. The connector functions on the level of the data access layer (DAL).
System objects such as users, groups and templates use a single database and built-in connectors.
WCM content objects such as articles and Webusers (that is, readers) can be stored in a single database or across a few databases.
WCM is preconfigured with one database connector. A database administrator might set up a second database ("Business db2") to isolate UGC such as blogs, poll responses, and user comments.
