ORACLE Database support in Liferay Portal 7.0 CE GA1

[Frank Pientka，修改在8 年前。]

In Liferay 7 the only supported Databases are:
HSQLDB 2 (only for demonstration, development, and testing)
MySQL 5.6
MariaDB 10
PostgreSQL 9.3
Is ORACLE not more supported or only in next Version or the EE?
How do I Upgrade liferay 6.2 to 7 from an ORACLE database?
Or do I have to build the ORACLE SQL scripts with https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/sql/sql.properties
database.types=oracel by my own?

Thanks, frank

Hi Frank,

From my understanding, I think oracle and other enterprise databases are not supported only for community edition, but I haven't all the info.

You can always use Liferay "migrate database" functionality:

• At 6.2 version: migrate database from Oracle to Postgresql or Mysql
• At 7.0 version: upgrade using same database

More info, see: https://dev.liferay.com/discover/portal/-/knowledge_base/6-2/server-administration#data-migration

Hello Diaz, the migration task can be an option.
But for me it is strange, that ORACLE-Scripts aren't any more official delivered but still referenced in the files e.g.
https://docs.liferay.com/portal/7.0/propertiesdoc/portal.properties.html
setup.database.types=db2,hypersonic,mariadb,mysql,oracle,postgresql,sqlserver,sybase
Now there is an offical annoucement
"Liferay Portal 7 Community does not have "out of the box" support for clustering, non-open source app servers (Oracle WebLogic, IBM WebSphere), and non-open source databases (Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Sybase D. Support for these non-open source systems will be found in Liferay's current and future commercial releases, which are available by Subscription"

Hello Frank.
Few days ago I published the project to add support to Oracle DB in Liferay 7 CE GA1. You can read the details of this article Liferay 7 CE: How to add support for Oracle DB

I hope you find it useful.
Antonio.
