Hi,

Can you explain what you mean by "default database"? Are you referring to a database used as a data source, or are you referring to the content store database?

Hi I am referring to the Content store database?..  Is it possible for Postgres??

You cannot use Postgres as a content store

Hello, Thanks for the update...! Actually, I am new to the Cognos. would like to know the what is the default database will come with the setup file?

[hardstep]

If you are doing an out-of-the-box installation then it will come with an Informix content store DB.
You can however use DB2, SQL Server or Oracle if required.
See this link for details of versions of content stores (aka content servers) : https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/prereqsForProduct?deliverableId=133544F0545D11E88CA35FB9AF6FA368
