You can certainly add a time-series library (TSL) adapter, e.g., the `AdoAdapters`, that will archive measurements to a database. Do be aware that this will be very limiting, especially for streaming synchrophasor data, on the volume of data that can be stored effectively - however, for just a few PMUs you should be fine.

For larger scale archiving, we recommend a system like the [openHistorian](https://github.com/GridProtectionAlliance/openHistorian) which was designed to archive large volumes of streaming measurement data at high speeds.

For guidance on setting up the `AdoAdapters` to archive data, I suggest starting here:  
[openHistorian Historian data to be saved into RDBMS (Oracle/Sql Server) using AdoAdapters - GPA Products / openHistorian - GPA Product Discussions (gridprotectionalliance.org)](https://discussions.gridprotectionalliance.org/t/openhistorian-historian-data-to-be-saved-into-rdbms-oracle-sql-server-using-adoadapters/565)

Then searching for other discussions related to `AdoAdapters` and/or `database archiving`.

Thanks,  
Ritchie
