RCS hosts a database server running MariaDB (an open source fork of MySQL) to help meet growing data storage needs. To obtain a database account, please fill out the New MariaDB Account Request Form. Please note that RCS provides limited support for databases.

Most information on how to connect to MariaDB has been shifted to our new site. Below, we supplement the information on the new site with ODBC connection information.

• ODBC
• SAS
• Stata

Many applications support connecting to a database via ODBC. If you would like to connect to your database with a program not listed, then please check to see if it has ODBC support. If it does, then please folow the instructions under the section "Stata" to setup an ODBC connection.
