Elaboration required.
A specific set of databases is constantly being tested for use with JobScheduler. The database products and versions should be stated.
Preconditions for supported DBMSs
The following preconditions have to be met to allow JobScheduler work with a database:
- JobScheduler database connections are made using JDBC and therefore a JDBC driver for that DBMS is required.
- Not all JDBC drivers are compatible with our Open Source License and cannot be provided with the JobScheduler distribution.
- Therefore users should download the respective JDBC drivers from the DBMS vendor web site.
- The JobScheduler installer provides a script for the database that creates the required database objects, e.g. tables, indices.
- The JobScheduler has been tested to be compatible with the respective release of the DBMS.
DBMS compatibility matrix
The following terms are used in the matrix:
- Confirmed as compatible: SOS has performed successful tests with the respective DBMS version.
- Unconfirmed compatibility: we have no knowledge of successful use with this DBMS version.
- Recommended JDBC Driver: SOS has performed successful tests with the respective JDBC Driver. Other versions and other JDBC Drivers may work.
Notes on specific DBMS versions
- Note, Postgres 9.1 and newer require particular attention (see How can JobScheduler run with Postgres 9.1 and higher?)
