The Research Data Services group within UITS Research Technologies provide provides a service known as the Research Database Complex (RDC), which supports research-related MySQL databases and data-intensive applications that require databases. Please note that the RDC also supports PostgreSQL, which is available upon request.

Prerequisites

1. Secure your own environment.

Directions

I only need a database server for the data:

1. Read the IU Research Data Complex (RDC) usage policies.
2. Get a MySQL account on the RDC. 
3. Access your MySQL database on the RDC from your application host.
4. Create MySQL user accounts.
5. Secure the connection with SSL to encrypt the SQL traffic.

I also need a place to host the application:

1. Use the RDCweb application server.
2. Contact RDC administrators for help or to request the use of PostgreSQL.
