Hello All,

I have site in MOODLE and planning to do external authentication with my SQL database.

what database type do I need to select for SQL Database and do I need to upload any extension to MOODLe.


Thanks

Hi Arvendrer ,

it's better if you select mysql as external database if possible,  if you do it with mysql you no need to install any  php extension . if you select any other database like oracle,sql-server you need to install driver for that database into php to connect with specific database.
