What database is used in TeamWox Groupware?

SQL base is an Embedded Firebird free for commercial use. To store large contents the native implementation of file databases with automatic packing and content encryption is used.

We've applied a specialized file storage, because in most cases data are once recorded and then many times read. The storage engine also uses an efficient cache.

In addition we offer TeamWox Application Programming Interface (API) with all necessary interfaces for accessing SQL and file storages. Besides, instead of Embedded Firebird you can use the Standalone version, to which other applications can connect directly.
