Types of Databases in Siebel

Three type of Databases in Siebel:

1. Sample
2. Local
3. Server

1. Sample DB: Sample database makes use of a file called as SSE_SAMP.DBF
2. Local DB: Local database makes use of a file called as SSE_DATA.DBF

Sample and Local databases will be run with a concept called as "SQL ANYWHERE" which internally invokes a database engine DBISQLC, and these databases do not require any of the third party database install on the client machine.

SSE_SAMP.DBF file path: C:\Program Files\Siebel\8.0\webclient\SAMPLE\SSE_SAMP.DBF
SSE_DATA.DBF file path: C:\Program Files\Siebel\8.0\web client\LOCAL\SSE_DATA.DBF

3. Server DB: Server database is the Siebel DB which is installed inside a third party vendor RDBMS like Oracle/MS SQL Server etc. This is the centralized database for all the Siebel applications.
