# How Do I: Configure WebLogic Workshop to Use a Different Database for Internal State?

WebLogic Workshop uses a JDBC data source to store internal state. By default, this data source is defined on the PointBase database that is installed with WebLogic Server. You may wish to configure WebLogic Workshop to use a different database for higher performance or scalability.

If you wish to configure WebLogic Workshop to use a database other than PointBase, you must configure the connection pool and data source you would like WebLogic Workshop to use, then configure WebLogic Workshop to use the new connection pool and data source.

To see how to configure WebLogic Workshop to use a new connection pool and data source, see Configuring WebLogic Server Resources in How Do I: WebLogic Workshop-Enable an Existing WebLogic Server Domain?
