Before You Install the Software
Before you run DriveRight FMS for the first time, you must first decide which
database to use with FMS. Here are some basic considerations for selecting
your database:
Note: Please refer to the DriveRight Fleet Management Software Database Selection Guide for
information on selecting and installing a database for use with DriveRight FMS.
• MS Access and MSDE are recommended for single-user installations with a
fleet of no more than five vehicles. MS Access is included with FMS and
requires no additional purchase or setup to use. If using MSDE, MSDE2000
is required to run FMS 3.7 or later and needs to be installed and configured
separately before installing FMS software.
• Either MySQL, MS SQL Server, or Oracle should be used for installations
with multiple users, larger fleets, or for installations with multiple vehicles
logging GPS data.
• To use MySQL, MS SQL Server, or Oracle, you must purchase the software
and install it before running FMS for the first time.
