Apache ActiveMQ -- JDBC Support

We support a range of SQL databases for message persistence such as

Apache Derby
Axion
DB2
HSQL
Informix
MaxDB
MySQL
Oracle
Postgresql
SQLServer
Sybase

as well as a number of generic JDBC providers.

Auto-discovery of your JDBC provider

We try to auto-detect from the JDBC driver which JDBCAdapter to use via these config files and the return string from the JDBC driver.

If you have a JDBC database which we don't support then please let us know what JDBC driver string you're getting and drop us a note or raise an issue in our support database and we'll fix it pretty quickly.

If you're database is not in the above list its normally a matter of tweaking the StatementProvider to ensure that the JDBCMessageStore uses the right flavour of SQL. So normally most databases support one of these providers...

org.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.BlobJDBCAdapter
org.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.BytesJDBCAdapter
org.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.DefaultJDBCAdapter
org.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.ImageJDBCAdapter

You can explicitly specify the JDBC adaptor class inside the activemq.xml...

<jdbcPersistenceAdapter  adapterClass="org.apache.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.ImageBasedJDBCAdaptor"/>

Customizing the SQL DDL

You can confiugure the various SQL datatypes - such as column sizes and so forth - using the statements element

<broker useJmx="false">

    <persistenceAdapter>
      <journaledJDBC useJournal="false">
        <statements>
          <statements stringIdDataType ="VARCHAR(128)"/>
        </statements>
      </journaledJDBC>
    </persistenceAdapter>

  </broker>

For more info on what attributes can be set on the statements element, see the Statements class. All the settable bean properties can be used as attributes of the <statements> element.

Using MySQL

If you are using MySQL then you should set the relaxAutoCommit flag to be true. e.g.

<bean id="mysql-ds" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/activemq?relaxAutoCommit=true"/>
    <property name="username" value="activemq"/>
    <property name="password" value="activemq"/>
    <property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/>
  </bean>

To see this in action see the default configuration file

For AMQ 3.x

In 3.x you can specify the adapter as follows

<jdbcPersistence adapterClass="org.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.ImageBasedJDBCAdaptor">
    ...
</jdbcPersistence>
