OLAT DATABASE
==================================

OLAT uses MySQL as its primary database for development and production.

For your installation take a binary distribution with MySQL that includes 
support for InnoDB. An example for InnoDB support is at the end
of this file.

Hibernate (http://hibernate.bluemars.net/) is used as persistent layer
in the Java part of OLAT.

The database directory contains ready to use SQL scripts for MySQL and PostgreSQL
in the corresponding subdirectories.
You can also run org.olat.persistence.DatabaseSetup.main() to generate the olat 
database script for your hibernate dialect. The generated sql commands saved
to database/setupDatabase.sql.

See our docu for more information: http://www.olat.org/docu/
