Database Setup
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
During the init phase of Gerrit you will need to specify which database to use.
|
|
|
|
[[createdb_h2]]
|
|
H2
|
|
~~
|
|
|
|
If you choose H2, Gerrit will automatically set up the embedded H2 database as
|
|
backend so no set up or configuration is necessary.
|
|
|
|
Using the embedded H2 database is the easiest way to get a Gerrit
|
|
site up and running, making it ideal for proof of concepts or small team
|
|
servers. On the flip side, H2 is not the recommended option for large
|
|
corporate installations. This is because there is no easy way to interact
|
|
with the database while Gerrit is offline, it's not easy to backup the data,
|
|
and it's not possible to set up H2 in a load balanced/hotswap configuration.
|
|
|
|
If this option interests you, you might want to consider link:install-quick.html[the quick guide].
|
|
|
|
[[createdb_postgres]]
|
|
PostgreSQL
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This option is more complicated than the H2 option but is recommended
|
|
for larger installations. It's the database backend with the largest userbase
|
|
in the Gerrit community.
|
|
|
|
Create a user for the web application within Postgres, assign it a
|
|
password, create a database to store the metadata, and grant the user
|
|
full rights on the newly created database:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
$ createuser --username=postgres -RDIElPS gerrit2
|
|
$ createdb --username=postgres -E UTF-8 -O gerrit2 reviewdb
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Visit PostgreSQL's link:http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/index.html[documentation] for further information regarding
|
|
using PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
[[createdb_mysql]]
|
|
MySQL
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This option is also more complicated than the H2 option. Just as with
|
|
PostgreSQL it's also recommended for larger installations.
|
|
|
|
Create a user for the web application within the database, assign it a
|
|
password, create a database, and give the newly created user full
|
|
rights on it:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
mysql
|
|
|
|
CREATE USER 'gerrit2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE reviewdb;
|
|
ALTER DATABASE reviewdb charset=latin1;
|
|
GRANT ALL ON reviewdb.* TO 'gerrit2'@'localhost';
|
|
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Visit MySQL's link:http://dev.mysql.com/doc/[documentation] for further
|
|
information regarding using MySQL.
|
|
|
|
[[createdb_oracle]]
|
|
Oracle
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL or H2 is the recommended database for Gerrit Code Review.
|
|
Oracle is supported for environments where running on an existing Oracle
|
|
installation simplifies administrative overheads, such as database backups.
|
|
|
|
Create a user for the web application within sqlplus, assign it a
|
|
password, and grant the user full rights on the newly created database:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
SQL> create user gerrit2 identified by secret_password default tablespace users;
|
|
SQL> grant connect, resources to gerrit2;
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
JDBC driver ojdbc6.jar must be obtained from your Oracle distribution. Gerrit
|
|
initialization process tries to copy it from a known location:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If this file can not be located at this place, then the alternative location
|
|
can be provided.
|
|
|
|
Instance name is the Oracle SID. Sample database section in
|
|
$site_path/etc/gerrit.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
type = oracle
|
|
instance = xe
|
|
hostname = localhost
|
|
username = gerrit2
|
|
port = 1521
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Sample database section in $site_path/etc/secure.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
password = secret_pasword
