me.
But, I also need to know that it works well with OpenJPA. In the OpenJPA
documentation I cannot see any explicit support for MariaDB - only MySQL.
Is MariaDB supported and does it work well with OpenJPA?
Despite of being missed in
http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/2.4.1/apache-openjpa/docs/ref_guide_dbsetup_dbsupport.html
the MariaDB dictionary is there since OpenJPA 2.3.0, hence you can just
select 'mariadb' as you would do with 'mysql' or 'postgres'
We'll update the documentation page soon, thanks for reporting.
Does PostgreSQL work well with OpenJPA?
Yes, of course :-)
Jokes apart, at Apache Syncope we are supporting both DBMS via OpenJPA,
and we had no bad surprises so far:
