Oracle for Artifactory

Configure JFrog Artifactory to use Oracle Database as its external datastore, which requires a dedicated Oracle instance before Artifactory can start.

Oracle provides infrastructure features such as backup and restore.

To run Artifactory with Oracle, create a dedicated Oracle database instance and then configure Artifactory to use it as described in the following sections.

⚠️

Enable Non-PostgreSQL Database

From Artifactory 7.84, Artifactory installations support only PostgreSQL by default. Artifactory will not start after installation unless you configure the system.yaml file to support your non-PostgreSQL database.

For more information on configuring the system.yaml after installation, see Configure Artifactory to use Oracle.

Upgrading the Database?

To avoid a performance regression while upgrading the Oracle database (due to changes in execution plans), preserve the optimizer's behavior from the previous version. For more details, refer to Oracle documentation on influencing the Optimizer.
