Overview

When creating an NS application, it is often cumbersome to set up a new database for it to work with. The SQL Expanders aim to assist with this by generating scripts that can provision a complete database structure that matches the technical requirements of an NS application.

There is support for several database technologies and their respective SQL dialects, as well as most persistence related options available for the JEE application stack. The supported databases are listed below:

• Postgresql (Recommended)
• MySQL
• MariaDB
• HyperSQL
• SQL Server
• Oracle DB

Artifacts

The following artifacts are relevant for development:

• net.democritus:sql-expanders@4.2.0: The expansion resources which can be used to expand the SQL scripts.
• net.democritus:sql-expanders-data@4.2.0: A library containing the necessary infrastructure to read and write the XML-based format to represent initial data for NS applications.
