== 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_derby]]
|
|
=== Apache Derby
|
|
|
|
If Derby is selected, Gerrit will automatically set up the embedded Derby
|
|
database as backend so no set up or configuration is necessary.
|
|
|
|
Currently only support for embedded mode is added. There are two other
|
|
deployment options for Apache Derby that can be added later [1]:
|
|
+
|
|
* Derby Network Server (standalone mode)
|
|
* Embedded Server (hybrid mode)

|
|
[[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;
|
|
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
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
[[createdb_maxdb]]
|
|
=== SAP MaxDB
|
|
|
|
SAP MaxDB is a supported database for running Gerrit Code Review. However it is
|
|
recommended only for environments where you intend to run Gerrit on an existing
|
|
MaxDB installation to reduce administrative overhead.
|
|
|
|
In the MaxDB studio or using the SQLCLI command line interface create a user
|
|
'gerrit2' with the user class 'RESOURCE' and a password <secret password>. This
|
|
will also create an associated schema on the database.
|
|
|
|
To run Gerrit on MaxDB, you need to obtain the MaxDB JDBC driver. It can be
|
|
found in your MaxDB installation at the following location:
|
|
|
|
- on Windows 64bit at "C:\Program Files\sdb\MaxDB\runtime\jar\sapdbc.jar"
|
|
- on Linux at "/opt/sdb/MaxDB/runtime/jar/sapdbc.jar"
|
|
|
|
It needs to be stored in the 'lib' folder of the review site.
|
|
|
|
In the following sample database section it is assumed that the database name is
|
|
'reviewdb' and the database is installed on localhost:
|
|
|
|
In $site_path/etc/gerrit.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
type = maxdb
|
|
database = reviewdb
|
|
hostname = localhost
|
|
username = gerrit2
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In $site_path/etc/secure.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
password = <secret password>
|

|
[[createdb_db2]]
|
|
=== DB2
|
|
|
|
IBM DB2 is a supported database for running Gerrit Code Review. However it is
|
|
recommended only for environments where you intend to run Gerrit on an existing
|
|
DB2 installation to reduce administrative overhead.
|
|
|
|
Create a system wide user for the Gerrit application, and grant the user
|
|
full rights on the newly created database:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
db2 => create database gerrit
|
|
db2 => connect to gerrit
|
|
db2 => grant connect,accessctrl,dataaccess,dbadm,secadm on database to gerrit2;
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
JDBC driver db2jcc4.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar must be obtained
|
|
from your DB2 distribution. Gerrit initialization process tries to copy
|
|
it from a known location:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
/opt/ibm/db2/V10.5/java/db2jcc4.jar
|
|
/opt/ibm/db2/V10.5/java/db2jcc_license_cu.jar
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If these files cannot be located at this place, then an alternative location
|
|
can be provided during init step execution.
|
|
|
|
Sample database section in $site_path/etc/gerrit.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
type = db2
|
|
database = gerrit
|
|
hostname = localhost
|
|
username = gerrit2
|
|
port = 50001
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Sample database section in $site_path/etc/secure.config:
|

[[createdb_hana]]
|
|
=== SAP HANA
|
|
|
|
SAP HANA is a supported database for running Gerrit Code Review. However it is
|
|
recommended only for environments where you intend to run Gerrit on an existing
|
|
HANA installation to reduce administrative overhead.
|
|
|
|
In the HANA studio or the SAP HANA Web-based Development Workbench create a user
|
|
'GERRIT2' with the role 'RESTRICTED_USER_JDBC_ACCESS' and a password
|
|
<secret password>. This will also create an associated schema on the database.
|
|
As this user would be required to change the password upon first login you might
|
|
want to to disable the password lifetime check by executing
|
|
'ALTER USER GERRIT2 DISABLE PASSWORD LIFETIME'.
|
|
|
|
To run Gerrit on HANA, you need to obtain the HANA JDBC driver. It can be found
|
|
as described
|
|
link:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_hanaplatform/helpdata/en/ff/15928cf5594d78b841fbbe649f04b4/frameset.htm[here].
|
|
It needs to be stored in the 'lib' folder of the review site.
|
|
|
|
In the following sample database section it is assumed that HANA is running on
|
|
the host 'hana.host' with the instance number 00 where a schema/user GERRIT2
|
|
was created:
|
|
|
|
In $site_path/etc/gerrit.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
type = hana
|
|
instance = 00
|
|
hostname = hana.host
|
|
username = GERRIT2
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In $site_path/etc/secure.config:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
[database]
|
|
password = <secret password>
|
