Configuring the Database Tier

Your database servers are the computers you use to host your Commerce Server databases and application databases, and the Commerce Server Direct Mailer and Predictor resources, if you decide to install them.

To separate the business logic tier from the database tier, your database servers should not contain any of your applications or administrative tools. One exception is Direct Mailer, which you can install on your database server in a small site configuration.

This section describes how to configure the database tier for a typical deployment. This topic assumes that you have already installed the base platform, configured the network, and set up the two domains.

This section contains:

• Clustering the SQL Servers
• Installing SQL Server 2000
• Installing Commerce Server 2002 Resources as Clustered Resources
• Using SQL Server Replication
• Using SQL Server Log Shipping
