Michael Vorburger created FINERACT-982:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Completely ditch use of Drizzle JDBC Driver after all
Key: FINERACT-982
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-982
Project: Apache Fineract
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michael Vorburger
Fineract's use of the un-maintained Drizzle JDBC driver continues to cause
confusion and pains like FINERACT-980, and note e.g. the proposed removal of
the alternative MySQL JDBC driver in
[https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/887.]
Some of the background to this is recorded e.g. in FINCN-26, FINERACT-761 and
LEGAL-462.
LEGAL-462 has clarified that the Fineract ZIP distribution must include Drizzle
and cannot distribute the MariaDB or MySQL JDBC clients. We CAN, and currently
(given the confusion in FINERACT-980 apparently do?!) use it for tests.
What if to reduce variability we just removed that old Drizzle JDBC driver
after all? We could run our tests using (preferably) the very well maintained
MariaDB JDBC driver client (the actual DB server is a totally separate
discussion, see FINERACT-896). We would (have to) distribute the ZIP for
download without a JDBC driver, and just some documentation inviting users to
DL and add one.
But the exact situation about distributing in a Docker container image isn't
clear, to me...
