### 16.1.1. The EKM Database

The EKM database is stored on the database server. The EKM database stores everything in the EKM repository except for binary objects (files). Binary objects are stored in the EKM data directory.

The EKM database stores both user data and application data. Files that are uploaded to EKM are stored outside the EKM database in the EKM data directory, but the EKM database contains records related to those files. These records include references to the files in the EKM data directory, and metadata extracted from the files. The EKM database also stores in-program objects such as users, groups, processes, and so on.

Contains proprietary and confidential information of ANSYS, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
