These steps are required when you convert from a demo/trial server installation to a production installation.

Tip

While you are demo-ing you do not need to do the Database Setup steps discussed below.

Your  server requires an SQL database for storing users and form submissions. The follow following SQL databases have been certified:

The server may function with other SQL database types but only the above set has been certified.

Warning

The default HSQLDB is ONLY sufficient for demo/trial versions of . All production users MUST switch their software to a production quality database.

The following steps describe how to change the underlying database from the demo/trial HSQLDB to a production quality SQL database. The database configuration file frevvo.xml is located in <frevvo-home>/frevvo/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost directory.

  1. Locate the frevvoDS data source url parameter and decide on a name for the frevvo database. For the SQL Server it would look like this: "url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=frevvo". You can change the name "frevvo" to whatever you wish, "" for example. But it must match the database name you create in your SQL server. See configure the connection Url below.
  2. Create a UTF-8 encoded database "frevvo" (assuming you left the url parameter database name as the default) in your SQL server
  3. Set the frevvoDS data source url parameter to your database server. See configure the connection Url below.
  4. Set the frevvoDS data source username and password parameters to a user that has read and write permissions to the frevvo database.
  5. The frevvo database setup is now complete.  will create all the necessary tables upon startup.

If you are trying a different database type and do not see an example in frevvo.xml for  your for your database, you can create a new data source entry. Hibernate supports the following dialects however  has only been certified to run with a subset of these databases. For additional dialects see Hibernate documentation.
