Database Requirements
| When granting Zoola an account for database access, it is strongly recommended that the access provided is to a replica database (as opposed to direct access to your production database). This replica database can be a backup, if you choose. Note that if you opt to instead provide access to your production database, queries run against this database may negatively impact the performance of your Learning Management System. The replication frequency of this database will determine the time-based availability of your data in Zoola. |
