"Setting Up Rapid Miner Server In Azure"

Hello Everybody,

I am setting up Rapid Miner Servers in Azure.

I will have three instances of Rapid Miner Server.

When I reviewed the installation instructions it said that a Rapid Miner server instance needs an account on SQL Server. My questions is the following:

If I am setting up three instances of Rapid Miner Server in Azure do I need three separate instances of SQL Server, one for each? or can I use a single SQL Server instance and give each Rapid Miner Server it's own schema on the single SQL Server instance.

My guess is that I can do both but that one will be faster or less expensive than the other way.
