PostgreSQL or Oracle?

PostgreSQL 9.3.6 is installed automatically when you install TeamForge 8.1. If you intend to use Oracle, CollabNet recommends that you let the installer run its course, make sure things work normally, and then set up your Oracle database and switch over to it.

If you want to use Oracle as your database, consider the following points:
  • TeamForge 8.1 supports Oracle server 11G (R1 and R2) and Oracle client 11g.
  • Oracle express edition is not supported for both client and server.
  • Black Duck Code Sight (BDCS) 2.1.3 was tested with PostgreSQL 9.3.6 only. BDCS with Oracle was not tested. If you want BDCS, you may install BDCS on the PostgreSQL database that is installed by default during TeamForge installation.
  • Review Board 2.0.11 was tested with PostgreSQL 9.3.6 only. Review Board with Oracle was not tested. Note that Review Board must be installed on the TeamForge application server and therefore uses the PostgreSQL database that is installed by default during TeamForge installation.
  • GIT integration works only with PostgreSQL. GIT integration is not supported with Oracle database.

The efficiency of your database can have an impact on your users' perception of the site's usability. If your site uses a PostgreSQL database (which is the default), you may want to consider tuning it to fit your specific circumstances. The default settings are intended for a small-to-medium site running on a single server. See What are the right PostgreSQL settings for my site? for recommendations from CollabNet's performance team on optimizing PostgreSQL for different conditions.
