Supported Databases

OpenLM Server is delivered with an embedded Firebird DB, as well as with the possibility (and recommendation) to migrate to an external database. Version 5.6 is the last to support Firebird. We recommend upgrading to the latest version. The following database types are supported:

MS SQL Server:

Versions 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 are tested and supported.
Version 2005 support has been discontinued in OpenLM Server version 3.1 due to Microsoft’s deprecation.

Additionally:

  • Set the collation to case-sensitive (CS)
  • It is recommended to connect using an SQL Server Authenticated user
  • Make sure the user is permitted to read, write and change the database (db_owner)

Firebird Server:

Version 2.5.5 is tested and supported.

MySQL Server:

Version 5.7 is tested and supported. OpenLM Server v4.4+ supports MySQL 8.

1. Use this creation script:

CREATE SCHEMA `openlm_database_name` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;

2. On the blank database, run the script

SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES = 0

Oracle DB
