# UseODBCDatabase

Set `UseODBCDatabase` to `True` if you want to use the SQL database backend to store collected statistics. I

By default, Controller stores statistics locally, and the Coordinator component polls Controller for the statistics.

When you set `UseODBCDatabase` to `True`, Controller stores the statistics in the SQL backend that you configure in the ConnectionString parameter. You must also set `UseODBCDatabase` to `True` in the `[StatsCollector]` section of your Coordinator configuration, so that Coordinator can retrieve the statistics from the shared database.

NOTE: You must set `UseODBCDatabase` to the same value in the Controller and Coordinator configuration files. If you set `UseODBCDatabase` to `True`, all Controller components and the Coordinator must connect to the same database.
