| Yes, of course.Technically a database is just an organized collection of data. It doesn't have to be what is currently considered a normal RDBMS. There are a whole lot of options out there. Including a bunch of emerging "nosql" products. Or you could go completely old school and organize the data yourself using in-memory structures or the filesystem. An application may not need any database as all depending on what its function is. My limited understanding of CDSS is that even if you go with a non-knowledge based system you will still need to store a ton of rules and/or some very complex algorithms for decision making. So I would say you would need some kind of database.Be One with the OptimizerTG |
