Is SQL Server or Oracle supported and splitting the app in 3 tiers
June 10, 2008, 07:17:50 am
Is it possible to use SQL Server or Oracle instead of mySQL as a DB for civiEvent?

Is it possible to split the setup into a web tier, application tier and DB tier so that these three layers can be on different physical boxes?

Please advise.

We currently only support MySQL 5.0.x. You would need to contribute to enable SQL Server / Oracle support. We'd be happy to help and guide you (and incorporate the patches back into CiviCRM)

You can split the application up into two boxes easily (three if u r using CiviMail). One for the web server, One for the db server and one box to handle incoming/outgoing mail (if using CiviMail). For high volume sites, we would also recommend using memcached. In this case i suspect you would be using more than one webserver and one of them would be running the memcached server

Thank you for responding.

Could you describe 'contribute' more specifically, please? What kind of costs are involved?

In this case 'contribute' would mean to have one of your developers contribute code/patches needed to deal with sql server / oracle

we dont have the skills or resources to tackle either of those two databases. We can help and guide the developer on IRC
