By default, the DGE database is set to MySQL, which is licensed and shipped with Traverse.
If you have a copy of MySQL already running on the host where the DGE component of Traverse will be installed, it is strongly recommend that the bundled version of MySQL for the DGE database should be used. This copy of MySQL has been tuned for optimal performance, and some of these settings might not be compatible with your existing installation/databases. Also, the existing instance of MySQL may be incompatible with the database drivers we are using. If there is already a copy of MySQL installed on the Traverse host, you can run the MySQL bundled with Traverse on a different port to avoid conflict.
