Hi Sapient,

VC 6.0 uses MS SQL server to act as a model repository for VC, that means whatever models are created using VC 6.0, on click of Save button at the menu bar, the model gets reposited in MS SQL.

Only MS SL Server is to be used if you are using VC 6.0 as a model repository, but you can talk to any back-end through portal Connectivity.

With NW04s you can use any of the supported databases. And with the BI Connectors you can also access any database that has a JDBC driver available
