 The Relational JDBC metastore currently relies on a Quarkus-managed datasource and supports only PostgresSQL and H2 databases. This limitation is similar to that of EclipseLink, primarily due to underlying schema differences. At this time, official documentation is provided exclusively for usage with PostgreSQL.
