Datasource configuration

Database

Scripts to create the required database content are provided for the supported databases.

For customers that are upgrading, if the database scheme was already created in a previous version, check to see if there are database upgrade scripts provided for any of the intermediate versions in the Upgrade Instructions.

Configuration

Use the following steps to configure the datasource:

1. Install the driver for your database. See Configuring JDBC database drivers for information on how to do this.
2. Provide the connection details for the datasource. There are two options for this: using JDBC or JNDI.
   

   1. Using JDBC datasource : this is configured in the  application-externaldatasources.properties file. When configuring external datasources, the externaldatasources profile should be enabled.

      application-externaldatasources.properties

      blueriq.datasource.<datasource-name>.url=<JDBC url>
      blueriq.datasource.<datasource-name>.username=<username>
      blueriq.datasource.<datasource-name>.password=<password>
      blueriq.datasource.<datasource-name>.driverClassName=<driver-class>

      
      

   2. Using JNDI datasource : this can be configured in the  application-jndidatasources.properties file. When configuring JNDI datasources the jndidatasources profile should be enabled.

      blueriq.datasource.<datasource-name>.jndiName=<JNDI url>

      
      

3. Provide the appropriate Hibernate settings
   

   blueriq.hibernate.<datasource-name>.dialect=<database-dialect>
   blueriq.hibernate.<datasource-name>.use_nationalized_character_data=true
   blueriq.hibernate.<datasource-name>.hbm2ddl.auto=validate

Supported dialects:

• org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect (for SQL Server)
• org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect (for Oracle)
• org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect (for H2) (we do not recommend using a H2 database in production environments)

Supported hbm2ddl.auto values:

• none
• validate
