By default Insider uses its high-performance embedded database engine to store its data. The embedded database engine is the best choice both space and performance-wise but in some situations you may want to use another database such as MySQL or Oracle. You may choose to use Oracle, for example, if you want to look at your data with a tool other than Insider or if you believe that the amount of data collected over time became inadequate for the embedded database engine.

To configure MySQL or Oracle as an internal database select the type of database you need on the General settings page and fill out the connection information in the dialog.
