Node database
=============
Default in-memory database
--------------------------
By default, nodes store their data in an H2 database. You can connect directly to a running node's database to see its
stored states, transactions and attachments as follows:
* Enable the H2 database access in the node configuration using the following syntax:
.. sourcecode:: groovy
h2Settings {
address: "localhost:0"
}
* Download the **last stable** `h2 platform-independent zip <http://www.h2database.com/html/download.html>`_, unzip the zip, and
navigate in a terminal window to the unzipped folder
* Change directories to the bin folder: ``cd h2/bin``
* Run the following command to open the h2 web console in a web browser tab:
* Unix: ``sh h2.sh``
* Windows: ``h2.bat``
* Find the node's JDBC connection string. Each node outputs its connection string in the terminal
window as it starts up. In a terminal window where a node is running, look for the following string:
``Database connection URL is : jdbc:h2:tcp://10.18.0.150:56736/node``
* Paste this string into the JDBC URL field and click ``Connect``, using the default username (``sa``) and no password.
You will be presented with a web interface that shows the contents of your node's storage and vault, and provides an
interface for you to query them using SQL.
The default behaviour is to expose the H2 database on localhost. This can be overridden in the
node configuration using ``h2Settings.address`` and specifying the address of the network interface to listen on,
or simply using ``0.0.0.0:0`` to listen on all interfaces.
PostgreSQL
----------
Nodes can also be configured to use PostgreSQL 9.6, using PostgreSQL JDBC Driver 42.1.4.
.. warning:: This is an experimental community contribution. The Corda continuous integration pipeline does not run unit
tests or integration tests of this feature.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an example node configuration for PostgreSQL:
.. sourcecode:: groovy
dataSourceProperties = {
dataSourceClassName = "org.postgresql.ds.PGSimpleDataSource"
dataSource.url = "jdbc:postgresql://[HOST]:[PORT]/postgres"
dataSource.user = [USER]
dataSource.password = [PASSWORD]
}
database = {
transactionIsolationLevel = READ_COMMITTED
schema = [SCHEMA]
}
Note that:
* The ``database.schema`` property is optional
* The value of ``database.schema`` is not wrapped in double quotes and Postgres always treats it as a lower-case value
(e.g. ``AliceCorp`` becomes ``alicecorp``)
* If you provide a custom ``database.schema``, its value must either match the ``dataSource.user`` value to end up
on the standard schema search path according to the
`PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH>`_, or
the schema search path must be set explicitly for the user.
SQLServer
----------
Nodes also have untested support for Microsoft SQL Server 2017, using Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.2 for SQL Server.
.. warning:: This is an experimental community contribution, and is currently untested. We welcome pull requests to add
tests and additional support for this feature.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an example node configuration for SQLServer:
.. sourcecode:: groovy
dataSourceProperties = {
dataSourceClassName = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource"
dataSource.url = "jdbc:sqlserver://[HOST]:[PORT];databaseName=[DATABASE_NAME]"
dataSource.user = [USER]
dataSource.password = [PASSWORD]
}
database = {
transactionIsolationLevel = READ_COMMITTED
schema = [SCHEMA]
}
jarDirs = ["[FULL_PATH]/sqljdbc_6.2/enu/"]
Note that:
* The ``database.schema`` property is optional and is ignored as of release 3.1.
* Ensure the directory referenced by jarDirs contains only one JDBC driver JAR file; by the default,
sqljdbc_6.2/enu/contains two JDBC JAR file for different Java versions.
