Chapter 2 Machine Management and Domain Configuration : Creating a Domain that Uses a Database

Creating a Domain that Uses a Database
When you create a domain with a database backend, TIBCO Administrator creates a number of database tables for the domain. If you later delete the domain, all domain-specific files are deleted, however, the database tables created when the domain was created are not deleted.
DataDirect database drivers are not shipped since TRA 5.7. You can install TIBCO Database Drivers Supplement or configure a vendor-supplied database driver for your domains instead. You can configure the database driver during your installation of the TIBCO Runtime Agent. See TIBCO Runtime Agent Installation for details. See also the “Configuring Vendor-supplied Database Drivers” section of TIBCO Runtime Agent Upgrading to Release 5.10 for detailed instructions on changing to vendor-supplied drivers for your 5.10 installations and domains.
