needs more types of database

mysql is slow, heavy and outdated, not usable nowdays
and h2 is just for testing

PostgreSQL is an excellent alternative, and requires almost no modification on the server.

Alternatively, you can use MariaDB as a drop-in replacement for MySQL, it provides full compatibility. I think most of us Streama users actually run Streama on MariaDB

EDIT: If you have any proposals, please suggest them here, if there's something that might come useful, I'm sure the devs might consider it

The database table naming convention needs to be tweaked a bit to get PostgreSQL working. Namely the user table is a reserved keyword for PostgreSQL, which is issue #409. I have a migration script I've submitted for a pull request if anyone is interested in looking at in pull request #647. You'll need to uncomment the lines in the build.gradle related to the PostgreSQL driver before building so that Streama can interact with a PostgreSQL database.
