Differences between SQL Repo or RDMO
I've purchased RDMO however I've noticed there is also the option to use an SQL DB. Just wondering what exactly are the differences between the two. Will I lose or gain any functionality, i.e. am I able to create security groups etc using the SQL method? Because currently I cannot do that on my RDMO subscription. Is it possible to sync SQL <-> RDMO? Is there a session limit using SQL?

Hi,
The SQL Server data source contains all the RDMO feature with one exception. RDMO is hosted online this mean that you have access to all your sessions from anywhere. For the SQL Server data source, you need to be connected to the database or use the offline mode (readonly). If you think that you don't need the RDMO subscription, send me an email and I will cancel it and refund you.

Hi David,
Can i not open the SQL DB up to the internet and connect through this method so I'm still able to access it from anywhere?

It's really not recommended because SQL Server was not designed to be exposed on the Internet. First it's too chatty, there is no compression and it could be hacked. You could give it a try but you will have to open multiple ports. I'm not sure exactly which one.
