Hello Mohamed,

It is a strong recommendation to use an external database in production.  This gives far better management, tuning, and availability capabilities that you have with the internal database.

Information on the Runtime Database is in the product documentation here:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSPREK_9.0.7/com.ibm.isam.doc/admin/cpt/rbaAdminDatabaseMaintenance.html

In terms of supported databases, you can find this information in the product compatibility reports.  Start here:
https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/index.html

At a high level, supported databases are DB2, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.  Details in the reports from link above.

Jon.
