OfBiz Database Installation

[Brendan Vogt]

Hi,

 

I am new to this kind of setup.  I am a C# programmer, and I am used to
clicking a couple of times then everything is installed and ready to go.  I
am wanting to try out the OfBiz application.

 

After hours of trying to get the source code, I managed to download it.  Now
I am following the installation steps as set out in:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setu
p+Guide

 

I am busy with the section under Database Setup.  I have SQL Server 2005,
but want to use Postgres database.  I have it installed as well.  I have
added the JDBC driver .rar in the directory which they said I must.

 

Question

I have no idea what the following means:

 

1. If using the default OFBiz transaction manager and connection pool,
update the data URI, username and password in the inline-jdbc tag

2. If you want your OFBiz tables in a special schema first create that
schema in your database, then set the schema-name attribute on the
datasource tag

3. Find the "default" delegator near the top of the file and change the
datasource-name attribute value in the group-map tag under it to the name of
the data source you modified or created.

 

What is the OFBiz transaction manager and connection pool?

 

Regards,

Brendan

You can forget all that for a 1st approach. Default param. are ok. Just set Postgres as BJ explained.
