Answer:
I have performed the VSphere 6.0 installation on my test box and we have created a VC-database on the same server (Refer PPT) while installation we have pointed the same database and the installation has been done successfully, did it will create another database automatically for SSO? Or else it will use the same VC Database which we have pointed, please confirm from your end and confirm is it a best practice as per the industry standards?

There is nothing to your diagram, it's basic, and standard.
vCenter Server as a VM or physical server, hosted on an ESXi Server, using an SQL database on a physical server.
We deploy ALL virtual, SQL Server, Windows Server, so vCenter Server is virtual, and we've been doing this for over 10 years.

How about the SSO Database did it will create another database automatically for SSO while performing the VSphere installation? Or Else it will use the VC Database? Please Confirm.
Few of my friends are saying that VC Database is Separate and SSO Database is Separate, Which Means that VC Database will created initially by us and we will start installation and we will point the same database at the time of installation (This Part I am Clear), But when coming to the SSO database it will automatically created by VSphere during installation process is that statement is Correct or Wrong Please Suggest.
Please provide your valuable comments.
