DBQuery resource adaptor entities
The Sentinel installer creates a DBQuery resource adaptor entity called dbquery-0
. The dbquery-0
resource adaptor entity is configured to connect to a local relational database.
See the DBQuery RA documentation for more about the DBQuery RA. |
DBQuery database type
Before installing Sentinel, you can configure the DBQuery RA database type by adding the db.type
property to sdk.properties
or sdk.local.properties
.
Valid options for this property are postgres
, oracle
, and timesten
. The Sentinel installation process compiles the DBQuery RA with the appropriate JDBC driver for that db.type
.
Many features provided with Sentinel, and new features developed with the Sentinel SDK, may use the DBQuery resource adaptor.
