Dendrite uses SQL databases to store data. Depending on the database engine being used, you
|
||||
may need to perform some manual steps outlined below.
|
||||
|
||||
## SQLite
|
||||
|
||||
SQLite deployments do not require manual database creation. Simply configure the database
|
||||
filenames in the Dendrite configuration file and start Dendrite. The databases will be created
|
||||
and populated automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Dendrite **cannot share a single SQLite database across multiple components**. Each
|
||||
component must be configured with its own SQLite database filename. You will have to remove
|
||||
the `global.database` section from your Dendrite config and add it to each individual section
|
||||
instead in order to use SQLite.
|
||||
|
||||
### Connection strings
|
||||
|
||||
Connection strings for SQLite databases take the following forms:
|
||||
|
||||
* Current working directory path: `file:dendrite_component.db`
|
||||
* Full specified path: `file:///path/to/dendrite_component.db`
|
||||
|
||||
## PostgreSQL
|
||||
|
||||
Dendrite can automatically populate the database with the relevant tables and indexes, but

## SQLite
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING:** The Dendrite SQLite backend is slower, less reliable and not recommended for
|
||||
production usage. You should use PostgreSQL instead. We may not be able to provide support if
|
||||
you run into issues with your deployment while using the SQLite backend.
