Supported Database

MicroStation supports many of the popular relational database software product families on the market today. Selecting the "right one" can be difficult as these databases represent a broad range in sophistication, performance and cost. You can implement anything from a simple single-user database on a computer to a full featured corporate network system with database servers and different vendor databases all interacting with the same design files.
