mistercrunch commented on issue #3464: Issue using Oracle DB as superset database - Error running a migration script URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/3464#issuecomment-329814074 We recommend MySQL, MariaDB or Postgres. SQLLite isn't production worthy. Ideally Oracle support would come through SQLAlchemy with no customization on our end. I think people have made it work, it may require creating sequences manually. If that's the case, either SQLAlchemy/Alembic should take care of that, or we can document it here in this issue or in a section of the docs "Setting up against Oracle". In any case the core dev team doesn't really care about Oracle specifically and our take is to use at your own risk. We can enable documentation and hooks and things like that, but should be minimal and/or live somewhere else. We're not in the business of db engine compatibility for our metadata db. Keep in mind that there's no way for us to build or run our continuous integration against Oracle, so that means we cannot make any guarantees. To make any guarantees we'd have to have someone else make these guarantees, maybe in the way of our release process which we'd rather keep simple as much as possible. But it seems like any somewhat modern environment should have an easy way to pop a MySQL or Postgres instance, I'd go with that option. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
