Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Why do you use PostgreSQL and not - as example - MySQL?
The data integrity mechanisms and the whole data manipulation functionality needs a powerful engine. This engine should be as near the data as possible. While there are a few other databases with Stored Procedures possibilities, MySQL definitely has not the features we need. (At least today)
While we will also evaluate other database engines as say SAPDB, we will concentrate meanwhile on PostgreSQL. Which should not mean, that you are not allowed to write ports...

Why do you use Stored Procedures?
We actually need performance, data integrity, and other features, among which are also trigers. Only with those powerful features we are able to guarantee data integrity and ease of use.

What dependencies has DragonBreath?
Dragon Breath needs a PostgreSQL database engine and a PHP parser. This means, it should run on most systems on which both of these applications are known to be running. Besides that you will need Sablotron or another XSLT Transformation library.
