Create the DPA repository database

After you install DPA and open it for the first time, you must create a repository database. The repository database stores monitoring user credentials and the performance data that DPA collects from monitored database instances.

You can create the repository database on any of the following database types:

• Create a SQL Server repository database
• Create an Oracle repository database
• Create a MySQL repository database
• Create an Azure SQL Database repository database

Azure SQL Managed Instance (ASMI) is not supported as a DPA repository database. See the system requirements for more information.
