SAP Hybris Commerce gives great flexibility, allowing you to choose a database best suited to your solution. Below are few recomanded DB's.
- HSQL DB - Default out-of-the-box solution
- MySQL
- Oracle
- Microsoft SQL Server
- HANA
In this blog we will see how to install
MySQLDB.
SAP Hybris by default comes with
HSQLDB and its configuration can be find in
project.properties file in
Platform directory.
If you search with MySQL in the same file, you will find details to be configured for MySQL database connection.
As you can see MySQL configuration commeted out.
In order use MySQL DB do we need to make the changes in project.property file of platform directory?
The answer is
NO, We should not touch any of the extensions provided by Hybris. The reason is during upgrade all your custom data will get overwrite with standard Hybris data.
So then where do we need to make changes?
Hybris has provided one more file
local.properties in Config directory. All your custom config changed should be done here and its unaffected during upgrades.
Since we are going to use the same keys with different values, the
highest precedence always goes to
local.properties file first and hence
MySQL DB will be connected rather than HSQL DB.
If we don’t define any DB related configuration inside
local.porperties file then HSQL DB configuration inside platform’s project.properties file will be considered and HSQL DB will be connected.
So lets start..
First we need to install the MySQL. Follow the below link. Video demonstrated with older version, but when your installing use the latest version.
