Some clarifications:
What database engine can I use as a backend for Caravel?
--------------------------------------------------------
To clarify, the *database backend* is an OLTP database used by Caravel to store its internal
information like your list of users, slices and dashboard definitions.
Caravel is tested using Mysql, Postgresql and Sqlite for its backend. It's recommended you
install Caravel on one of these database server for production.
Using a column-store, non-OLTP databases like Vertica, Redshift or Presto as a database backend simply won't work as these databases are not designed for this type of workload. Installation on Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or other OLTP databases may work but isn't tested.
Please note that pretty much any databases that have a SqlAlchemy integration should work perfectly fine as a datasource for Caravel, just not as the OLTP backend.
