Agenda/Notes
  • Review old TODOs

  • OpenMRS 2.x Android Client
  • Questions
  • so information syncing is via xform instance data processing? 
  • Using REST API for queries
  • Submitting data using XForms
  • Are there examples of use in productions?
  • Not yet. But people are expressing interest.
  • Converting to MariaDB or PostgresDB
  • Background
  • By using MySQL, we may be putting OpenMRS at risk in the long run, since MySQL isn't fully controlled by an open source community.
  • "I think the most valuable first thing we can do in this area is to have CI setups which test doing a from-scratch install of the reference application, against other DBs (mariadb and postgresql being the obvious ones)."
  • We're using Hibernate & Liquibase, so they should work with popular DBs, the problem may lie with modules.
  • How many distributed modules are not using hibernate + liquibase?
  • Goal:
  • OpenMRS should be able to run atop PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL-Server
  • Rather than doing all at once, we should prioritize these:
  • 2: PostgreSQL
  • 3: Oracle
  • 4: SQLServer
  • Action items
  • TODO: Set up CI builds for MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLServer, Oracle
  • We assume these will not be green lights
  • TODO: Create tickets to address problems that occur
  • TODO: Schedule sprint(s) to address tickets
  • How many times in the past have we raised this topic? :-)
  • 4.6
