MySQL database function

hi, may I know what is the main function of the MySQL database in the CMS server and what information does it store?

Thanks!

It’s a database server. It stores all the data the CMS gathers from you (eg your layouts - except your file-based media items -, users and permissions, authentication etc).

The CMS can’t function without it.

Hi Alex, thanks for your response. Is there a need to install the mysql database server on a separate server protected by a firewall for security purpose?

Typically you’d have the database on the same server as the CMS, but it can be remote if you wish. You’d typically only separate it if you needed additional performance.
