CockroachDB uses the same wire<br>protocol as PostgreSQL, so really they're supporting 1 database type. You<br>can read more about it all at the following links:<br><br>https://www.keycloak.org/2022/02/dbs.html<br><br>https://www.keycloak.org/2022/07/storage-map.html <br><br> <br><br>Personally, I really like PostgreSQL. I use it for a number of other<br>projects. But I think we're pretty wedded to MySQL/MariaDB with Koha, and<br>maybe we just need to own that?<br><br> <br><br>David Cook<br><br>Senior Software Engineer<br><br>Prosentient Systems<br><br>Suite 7.03<br><br>6a Glen St<br><br>Milsons Point NSW 2061<br><br>Australia<br><br> <br><br>Office: 02 9212 0899<br><br>Online: 02 8005 0595<br><br> <br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/attachments/20221206/e47a435e/attachment-0001.htm><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Subject: Digest Footer<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Koha-devel mailing list<br>Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org<br>https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel<br>website : https://www.koha-community.org/<br>git : https://git.koha-community.org/<br>bugs : https://bugs.koha-community.org/<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>End of Koha-devel Digest, Vol 205, Issue 12<br>*******************************************<br></div><br><br>NOTE: You are receiving this mail because, the Requester/Technician wanted you to get notified on this request creation.<br></body></html>
