Comments on: jBPM “supported” target databases… H2 anyone? http://planetjbpm.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/jbpm-supported-target-databases-h2-anyone/ Syndication of blogs from basic to advanced usage of a great workflow engine Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:26:46 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: sridhar http://planetjbpm.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/jbpm-supported-target-databases-h2-anyone/#comment-83 sridhar Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:03:31 +0000 http://planetjbpm.wordpress.com/?p=36#comment-83 It took me only two hours to make H2, the best alternative to me, part of my jBPM project. I'm running into hibernate/sql errors when trying to configure H2 for jBPM 3.x. Can you post snippet of changes you have done to make it work?

I think you missed the point of my post. I did not try to setup H2 to emulate Oracle, I tried it so it could be a replacement of HSQL. The fact that Oracle is not (yet) in the supproted target databases is beyond my influence since I do not work for JBoss. While setting up H2 I saw the emulation mode and it surprised me that running it in emulation mode I got the same error as on a real Oracle... good emulation that is. Sybase is in the QAS matrix because a customer who <strong>bought</strong> support had some issues with jBPM on Sybase. Sure, Oracle XE is free, but someone has to take the time to install it, maintain it etc. In addition to this you could also state that since there are so limited issues on Oracle the need is less and once there is an issue, support is provided. Everything in due time... (e.g. the now maturing jBPM QA becoming part of the larger JBoss QA) Uhhhmmm… I think you missed the point of my post.

Oracle XE is free to install (I'd be surprised if your test suites would run into the 2GB limitation). As the poster pointed out it's very widely used...

Never had a single problem. H2 works greatly! We have been using H2 for unit testing for some time now, replacing HSQLDB because we need JTA XA support (and HSQLDB does not offer it, while H2 does).

Most interesting I find are your findings on the in-memory choices. All developers should take note and be interested in working with such databases, be that you can facilitate your (unit) testing nicely with these. Something I wish I encountered more in practice than I do... Thanks for the interesting overview on your database support.
