Petri Tuomola commented on FINERACT-982:
----------------------------------------
Just wondering: given both MySQL and MariaDB result in licensing challenges
with drivers, has anyone tried to migrate Fineract to PostgreSQL? Or even
supporting both but using PostgreSQL as default, so that there are no issues
with licenses and distribution?
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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...
> FYI [~awasum], [~ptuomola], [~xurror]
