Database system for build

joejoe2010

Hello everybody,

on the wiki it is recommended to switch from SQLite (which is default, isn't it?) to PostgreSQL for development.
But what happens if I do so and then build a release to send it to somebody else who wants to use SQLite?
Will the release be using SQLite or PostgreSQL?

Thank you

Joachim

The standalone installer only supports SQLite, and I think that is the only option, if we want to keep the standalone installer simple.

It does not matter which database you use for development, the buildRelease will always use sqlite for the standalone installer.

For Linux, I think we provide scripts for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite in the tar archive. I guess for RPM or DEB packages, we should target PostgreSQL only. It is easy to add that dependancy, and nowadays the installers in Linux are clever enough to collect the dependancies.
