+>_Note_: if you want to use an external DBMS, instead of the embedded Derby, you will need a JDBC driver.
+The only thing you need to do is add a dependency in build.gradle to the MySQL/PostgreSQL/whatever JDBC driver.
+Search in Jcenter for the database driver suitable for the database installed on your production system.

+Of course you need to make sure the connector is compatible with _your_ version of the database installed!
