For PE 3, what are the stable/supported database backends?

[leam hall]

We're looking to move from yaml and json to a database. What good options are along the lines of MySQL, Postgres, or MongoDB?

Thanks!

Are you talking about Hiera? If so, you can checkout hiera-mysql[1].
Or use something like CouchDB that's fronted with an HTTP API and use
hiera-http[2] to talk to it.

Would you expand on why you're interested in moving to a database-based implementation? Are you using both YAML and JSON today?

thanks,

Lindsey

 

Thanks!

Lindsey, sure!  We have a few other projects that could use a database back end. Further, our hiera is starting to get a little complex for us and the solution seems to be moving to a MySQL database. What I'm hoping in the long run is to let multiple tools query the same tables.

This could be done in JSON or YAML, but then we run in to update clashes and such. 

Make sense?
