SID-02076: Doubt about database store of the topics

Status: Answered Answered TWiki version: 6.0.1 Perl version: 5
Category: DatabasePlugin Server OS: RedHat 4 Last update: 8 years ago

Hi, I already have installed Twiki 6.0.1 in a local server, the server don't have enough space to store the data of the topics (text,attachments) in the file system. I want know if the plugin DatabasePlugin or DBIQueryPlugin will help to store all the data from the topics in the database or these plugins will store into the database the data from the forms.

I use Oracle 11g r2 as database and is located in a remote server.

My other doubt is which is the driver to use to connect to the database

Discussion and Answer

The DatabasePlugin and DBIQueryPlugin simply show data from an external database in a TWiki page, e.g. nothing is stored in TWiki except for the SQL statement.

TWiki itself stores page data and attachments locally on the TWiki server. Page data uses very little storage; with attachments it depends how large/how many attachments your TWiki users will attach to TWiki pages. Disk space is cheap, why not adding more disk space?
