Switching between development database types

The initial installation of WebSphere Commerce Developer provides a WebSphere Commerce development environment that uses IBM Cloudscape as the development database. However, you can at any time switch to using one of the other database types supported for your product edition - and subsequently return to Cloudscape.

For detailed information about both the rationale and the procedure for switching between development database types, refer to the Changing the development database topic of the WebSphere Commerce Developer Installation Guide.
