Agenda/Notes
- Review old TODOs
- TODO: Notify presenters about their dev forum topics
TODO: Re-schedule Android Client presentation
- OpenMRS 2.x Android Client
- Questions
- so information syncing is via xform instance data processing?
- Using REST API for queries
- Submitting data using XForms
- Are there examples of use in productions?
- Not yet. But people are expressing interest.
- Converting to MariaDB or PostgresDB
- Background
- By using MySQL, we may be putting OpenMRS at risk in the long run, since MySQL isn't fully controlled by an open source community.
- Darius unable to join, so shared his thoughts here <https://talk.openmrs.org/t/converting-to-mariadb-or-postgresql/1701>
- "I think the most valuable first thing we can do in this area is to have CI setups which test doing a from-scratch install of the reference application, against other DBs (mariadb and postgresql being the obvious ones)."
- We're using Hibernate & Liquibase, so they should work with popular DBs, the problem may lie with modules.
- How many distributed modules are not using hibernate + liquibase?
- Goal:
- OpenMRS should be able to run atop PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL-Server
- Rather than doing all at once, we should prioritize these:
- 1: MariaDB 10.1 (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/)
- 2: PostgreSQL
- 3: Oracle
- 4: SQLServer
- Action items
- TODO: Get MariaDB support on the roadmap <http://om.rs/roadmap>
- TODO: enumerate which of our distributed modules (those in the 2.2 refapp <https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/rg1IAQ>) are not hibernate and/or liquibase
- TODO: Set up CI builds for MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLServer, Oracle
- We assume these will not be green lights
- TODO: Create tickets to address problems that occur
- TODO: Schedule sprint(s) to address tickets
- How many times in the past have we raised this topic? :-)
- 4.6
