      If you use Patterson Eaglesoft dental management software you might be wondering what database engine it uses. Commonly people think that it uses MS SQL Server, but it does not.

      Eaglesoft uses SAP's Sybase SQL Anywhere embedded database. This is a robust relational database (MS SQL Server was actually derived from it back in the mid-1990s when MS and Sybase were partners.) There is no management studio or tooling for SQL Anywhere on the system and no mechanisms like a VSS writer or other tools.

      The database itself stores its data is the PattersonPM.db file and the PattersonPM.log files. Those are the only files used.
