Setting Up the ProjectWise Database and ODBC Datasource
When you are setting up the main ProjectWise server, before you install any ProjectWise software, you should set up the database for your ProjectWise datasource. While this section does not attempt to instruct you how to create your database, or the ODBC datasource, it does cover certain ProjectWise requirements for each supported database. See your respective database's documentation for relevant database instructions.
ProjectWise Design Integration
Install a supported version of Oracle Database or SQL Server. See the Requirements section of the ProjectWise readme (C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise \readme_ProjectWise.chm) for the list of supported databases and drivers
In Oracle Database or SQL Server, create one database for each ProjectWise datasource you plan to create. This database will contain the ProjectWise database tables, which get created when you create the ProjectWise datasource.
ProjectWise supports languages that use multi-byte characters, and therefore requires that the database engine used by ProjectWise support Unicode data storage.
