Connecting external database in pega personal edition
Hello,
Can we connect to an external database in Pega personal edition? Does Pega personal edition support connections to external database or there is a limitation? I tried and received error?
I am currently using pega personal edition for doing POCs. In few of old forum topics I have seen the same questions, but I didn't get a satisfactory answer.
Anyone please help.
Thanks,
Saket
The pgAdmin3.exe client from your Personal Edition works very well for connecting to another Postgres DB such as the one within a PVS.
See post #12 within https://pdn.pega.com/forums/lead-system-architect-71/pega-717-pvs-database-connection-details.
However if you want to connect to non-Postgres databases you need to use a tool such as Squirrel which mentioned in the "pvs-database-connection-details" discussion.
You also need to obtain the right JDBC jar and be able to specify the JDBC url and Driver class name.
