+xCAT supports a pluggable interface which allows you to choose the relational database you wish to use. The following are the currently supported databases, with SQLite being the default when xCAT is installed on the Management Node for the first time. 

 ### SQLite

-XCAT will automatically perform the initial setup of an SQLite Database when the Management Node is first installed. This database is sufficient for small to moderate size systems ( less than 1000 nodes for Linux, 300 for AIX) , if you are not using hierarchy ( service nodes). SQLite cannot be used for hierarchy, because the service nodes require access to the database from the service node and this SQLite does not support remote access to the database. For hierarchy, you need to setup PostgreSQL, MySQL, or DB2. 
+XCAT will automatically perform the initial setup of an SQLite Database when the Management Node is first installed. SQLite is a small, light, daemon-less database that requires no configuration or maintenance. This database is sufficient for small to moderate size systems ( less than 1000 nodes for Linux, 300 for AIX) , if you are not using hierarchy (service nodes). SQLite cannot be used for hierarchy, because the service nodes require access to the database from the service node and this SQLite does not support remote access to the database. For hierarchy, you need to setup PostgreSQL, MySQL, or DB2. 

 xCAT provides database setup scripts to automatically setup the chosen database for you.
