Corticon's ADC and EDC provide access to many different databases. This allows you to enrich the data being processed by your rules as well as persist the results of rule processing to your database.

Common Guidelines on Database Usage

Some Corticon features are not supported in certain supported databases. Data manipulations and database startup functions that might be required to ensure error-free interaction between Corticon EDC and a database are noted.

The mapping of database columns to a Corticon Vocabulary through SQL might experience problems when database columns have hyphens, spaces or other special characters (even though some databases and SQL parsers allow them). The generally accepted valid values are all alphanumeric characters and the underscore character. It is a plus to use all-lowercase names to avoid platform case inconsistencies. For more information on Corticon's accepted names, see the topic Vocabulary node naming restrictions

The feature of importing database metadata will infer associations when the information (foreign keys) is available in the data source's metadata.
