Database support
Categories of databases
We have two categories of databases:
Relational: Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2
XML: eXist (deprecated since Orbeon Forms 2019.1, removed since Orbeon Forms 2023.1)
Since Orbeon Forms 4.4, the implementation of relational support is common to all databases. There used to be separate implementation for each relational database.
For setup instructions, see Using Form Runner with a relational database.

Third-party implementations
A third-party MarkLogic persistence layer for Orbeon Form Runner is available. As of 2015-03-02, this does not support versioning and owner/group-based permissions. Also please note that this is currently not officially supported by Orbeon.
