Create a database

This section describes how to prepare a database for Leap.

Leap is compatible with a DB2, Oracle, or PostgreSQL database.

Note

Keeping the Leap application and database servers co-located is essential. Leap's frequent database calls necessitate rapid communication between the servers. Co-location minimizes latency, resulting in faster data retrieval, quicker response times, and improved overall system efficiency. Separating the servers introduces network latency, slowing performance. Co-location supports smooth, real-time operations, especially for database-intensive tasks like querying, updating records, and transaction processing.
