- If Precise v9.6 will be monitoring SQL Server and/or Sybase performance, or an ERP system that is based on SQL Server or Sybase (such as SAP), an SQL Server PMDB is needed.
- If Precise v9.6 will be monitoring Oracle and/or DB2 performance, or an ERP system that is based on Oracle or DB2, such as SAP or Oracle E-Business Suite, an Oracle PMDB is needed.
- If you will be monitoring mixed landscapes consisting of databases (SQL Server / Sybase, AND Oracle / IBM DB2) you will need to install two PMDB's one on Oracle and one on SQL Server.

The Precise agents typically reside on the monitored servers and need to be able to communicate with the Precise Framework. Verify that the network settings (such as firewall configurations etc.) will enable that. For more information, see Communication Requirements in the Precise Minimum Requirements for Installation Guide.
