Jive Messenger Database Setup

Jive Messenger stores all data in a back-end database that you must setup and manage. This document provides setup instructions for all of the currently supported databases.

JDBC 2.0 drivers are required for Jive Messenger to communicate with your database. Suggested drivers for particular databases are noted below where applicable. However, the JDBC-ODBC bridge will not work with Jive under any circumstances.

For a full list of available JDBC drivers, please see: http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers.

All database schemas can be found in the resources/database directory of the Jive Messenger installation.

Note that additional databases besides the ones in this list may be supported. Please check the distribution for a database schema for your database or consider creating a schema yourself if one isn't provided.

Choose your database from the list below for setup details:

SQL Server 2000
