Configuration : How do I use an external database (e.g. SQL Server) ?
The EPS uses Javas JDBC interface to connect to the database. You should therefore obtain the correct Type 4 JDBC Driver from your database vendor, stop the EPS, copy any driver files (usually ending in .jar) into jetty\ext inside the EPS installation directory, and restart the EPS. Once you have done this the EPS should be able to talk to your chosen database.
