I have some doubt regarding the Servoy Repository.
In Servoy, all the Application data are get stored in the repository that is our iAnywhere sybase database.
Can we use a different database connection(SQL supported) for this purpose?
If I understand you right you store your data in the same database as the repository ?
It’s very much recommended to keep the repository db for the repository only.
So yes, you can use another database (and corresponding connection) for your data.

And,
Let 4 to 5 developers are working on a single project. So, how Servoy meets all the SCM(Source Code Management) Requirements ?
I’ll let one of the Servoyans answer that one.

Another question,
Can a number of Servoy developers work on a same repository?
Easiest way is to export your solutions via Developer (menubar > File > Repository).
Point Servoy Developer to your newly created Oracle db and re-launch Developer.
It will create the tables it requires and after this you can import your exported solutions (menubar > File > Repository).
The actual database for the Repository can be called anything you like: ‘repository_server_sybase’, ‘repository_server_oracle’ etc.
But the database connection name that you setup in Edit/Prefs must be called ‘servoy_repository’.
You can retain the old repository connections by renaming them to ‘servoy_repository_old’ or similar then create a new connection called ‘servoy_repository’ and point this at the new database that you will use as the repository - ie ‘repository_server_oracle’.
Close down Servoy - and remember to stop Sybase if its running - then restart Servoy and it will create a new repository in ‘repository_server_oracle’
No Acer is right in that the connection name has to be ‘repository_server’, not ‘servoy_repository’.
The database name itself can indeed be whatever you like.
Versioning is supported by Servoy, but about another three?
is what Servoy Multi Developer does
3 and 4 to some degree, but will be fully supported in Servoy.Next (most probably 4, come to ServoyWorld to learn more!)
