Database Requirements

Image Added

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.
