Run the MySQL command line client in either Linux or MS Windows environment and enter following instructions from the Tigase installation directory:

mysql -u root -p

Once logged in, create the database for the Tigase server:

mysql> create database tigasedb;

Add the tigase_user user and grant him access to the tigasedb database. Depending on how you plan to connect to the database (locally or over the network) use one of following commands or all if you are not sure:

For the Tigase server version 4.x additional permissions must be granted for the database user:

mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON mysql.proc TO 'tigase_user'@'localhost';
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON mysql.proc TO 'tigase_user'@'%';
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON mysql.proc TO 'tigase_user';

And now you can update user permission changes in the database:

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

mysql> use tigasedb;

mysql> source database/mysql-common-0.0.1.sql;

mysql-common-0.0.1.sql
mysql-common-0.0.2.sql
mysql-server-7.0.0.sql
mysql-server-7.1.0.sql
mysql-server-8.0.0.sql
mysql-muc-3.0.0.sql
mysql-pubsub-3.1.0.sql
mysql-pubsub-3.2.0.sql
mysql-pubsub-4.0.0.sql
mysql-http-api-2.0.0.sql

mysql-socks5-2.0.0.sql
mysql-push-1.0.0.sql
mysql-message-archiving-2.0.0.sql
mysql-unified-archive-2.0.0.sql

mysql> source c:/Program Files/Tigase/database/mysql-common-0.0.1.sql;
mysql> source c:/Program Files/Tigase/database/mysql-common-0.0.2.sql;
mysql> source c:/Program Files/Tigase/database/mysql-server-7.0.0.sql;
and so on...

Follow steps below to prepare the MySQL database:

Create the database space for the Tigase server:

mysqladmin -p create tigasedb

Add the tigase_user user and grant access to the tigasedb database. Depending on how you plan to connect to the database (locally or over the network) use one of following commands or all if you are not sure:

echo "GRANT ALL ON tigasedb.* TO tigase_user@'%' \
            IDENTIFIED BY 'tigase_passwd'; \
            FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql -u root -pdbpass mysql

echo "GRANT ALL ON tigasedb.* TO tigase_user@'localhost' \
            IDENTIFIED BY 'tigase_passwd'; \
            FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql -u root -pdbpass mysql

echo "GRANT ALL ON tigasedb.* TO tigase_user \
            IDENTIFIED BY 'tigase_passwd'; \
            FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql -u root -pdbpass mysql

mysql -u dbuser -p tigasedb < mysql-common-0.0.1.sql
mysql -u dbuser -p tigasedb < mysql-common-0.0.2.sql
etc..

mysql-common-0.0.1.sql
mysql-common-0.0.2.sql
mysql-server-7.0.0.sql
mysql-server-7.1.0.sql
mysql-server-8.0.0.sql
mysql-muc-3.0.0.sql
mysql-pubsub-3.1.0.sql
mysql-pubsub-3.2.0.sql
mysql-pubsub-4.0.0.sql
mysql-http-api-2.0.0.sql

mysql-socks5-2.0.0.sql
mysql-push-1.0.0.sql
mysql-message-archiving-2.0.0.sql
mysql-unified-archive-2.0.0.sql

In my.conf put following lines:

[mysql]
default-character-SET=utf8

[client]
default-character-SET=utf8

[mysqld]
init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci; SET NAMES utf8;'
character-set-server=utf8
default-character-SET=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci
skip-character-set-client-handshake

Then connect to the database from the command line shell check settings:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_database';
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_client';

If any of these shows something else then 'utf8' then you need to fix it using the command:

ALTER DATABASE tigasedb DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;

You can now also test your database installation if it accepts UTF-8 data. The easiest way to ensure this is to just to create an account with UTF-8 characters:

call TigAddUserPlainPw('żółw@some.domain.com', 'żółw');

And then check that the account has been created:

SELECT * FROM tig_users WHERE user_id = 'żółw@some.domain.com';

If the last command gives you no results it means there is still something wrong with your settings. You might also want to check your shell settings to make sure your command line shell supports UTF-8 characters and passes them correctly to MySQL:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LOCALE=UTF-8
export LESSCHARSET='utf-8'

It seems that MySQL 5.0.x also needs extra parameters in the connection string: '&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8' while MySQL 5.1.x seems to not need it but it doesn’t hurt to have it for both versions. You have to edit etc/config.tdsl file and append this to the database connection string.

For MySQL 5.1.x, however, you need to also update code for all database stored procedures and functions used by the Tigase. They are updated for Tigase version 4.4.x and up, however if you use an older version of the Tigase server, you can reload stored procedures using the file from SVN.

There are a number of other useful options, especially for performance improvements. Please note, you will have to review them as some of them may impact data reliability and are useful for performance or load tests installations only.

# InnoDB seems to be a better choice
# so lets make it a default DB engine
default-storage-engine = innodb

Some the general MySQL settings which mainly affect performance:

key_buffer = 64M
max_allowed_packet = 32M
sort_buffer_size = 64M
net_buffer_length = 64K
read_buffer_size = 16M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 16M
thread_stack = 192K
thread_cache_size = 8
query_cache_limit = 10M
query_cache_size = 64M

InnoDB specific settings:

# Keep data in a separate file for each table
innodb_file_per_table = 1
# Allocate memory for data buffers
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1000M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 100M
# A location of the MySQL database
innodb_data_home_dir = /home/databases/mysql/
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /home/databases/mysql/
# The main thing here is the 'autoextend' property
# without it your data file may reach maximum size and
# no more records can be added to the table.
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
innodb_log_file_size = 10M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 32M
# Some other performance affecting settings
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50
innodb_thread_concurrency = 16

These settings may not be fully optimized for your system, and have been only tested on our systems. If you have found better settings for your systems, feel free to let us know.

[mysqld]
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_bin

Preparation of Derby database is quite simple, but the following assumptions are made

java -Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby: -Dij.database="DerbyDB;create=true" -cp libs/derby.jar:libs/derbytools.jar:jars/tigase-server.jar org.apache.derby.tools.ij database/derby-common-0.0.1.sql

java -Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby: -Dij.database="DerbyDB;create=true" -cp libs\derby.jar;libs\derbytools.jar;jars\tigase-server.jar org.apache.derby.tools.ij "database\derby-common-0.0.1.sql"

derby-common-0.0.1.sql
derby-common-0.0.2.sql
derby-server-7.0.0.sql
derby-server-7.1.0.sql
derby-server-8.0.0.sql
derby-muc-3.0.0.sql
derby-pubsub-3.1.0.sql
derby-pubsub-3.2.0.sql
derby-pubsub-4.0.0.sql
derby-http-api-2.0.0.sql

derby-socks5-2.0.0.sql
derby-push-1.0.0.sql
derby-unified-archive-2.0.0.sql

Once the database is setup, configure the config.tdsl file in Tigase and add the following configuration:

dataSource {
    default () {
        uri = 'jdbc:derby:{location of derby database};'
    }
}

After installation of MS SQL Server an instance needs to be configure to handle incoming JDBC connections. For that purpose it’s required to open SQL Server Configuration Manager. In the left-hand side panel navigate to SQL Server Configuration Manager, then SQL Server Network Configuration → Protocols for ${INSTANCE_NAME}. After selecting instance in the right-hand side panel select TCP/IP and open Properties, in the Protocol tab in General section select Yes for Enabled property. In the IP Addresses tab select Yes for Active and Enabled properties of all IP Addresses that you want MS SQL Server to handle. Subsequently set the TCP Port property (if missing) to the default value - 1433. A restart of the instance may be required afterwards.

In order to prepare the database you can use either a wizard or execute queries directly in the Query Editor. Firstly you need to establish a connection to the MS SQL Server instance. From Object Explorer select Connect and in the Connect to Server dialog enter administrator credentials.

USE [master]
GO

CREATE DATABASE [tigasedb];
GO

CREATE LOGIN [tigase] WITH PASSWORD=N'tigase12', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[tigasedb]
GO

ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::tigasedb TO tigase;
GO

From the File menu Select Open → File (or use Ctrl+O) and then open following files:

sqlserver-common-0.0.1.sql
sqlserver-common-0.0.2.sql
sqlserver-server-7.0.0.sql
sqlserver-server-7.1.0.sql
sqlserver-server-8.0.0.sql
sqlserver-muc-3.0.0.sql
sqlserver-pubsub-3.1.0.sql
sqlserver-pubsub-3.2.0.sql
sqlserver-pubsub-4.0.0.sql
sqlserver-http-api-2.0.0.sql

Other components may require installation such as:

sqlserver-socks5-2.0.0.sql
sqlserver-push-1.0.0.sql
sqlserver-message-archiving-2.0.0.sql
sqlserver-unified-archive-2.0.0.sql

Subsequently select created database from the list of Available Databases (Ctrl+U) available on the toolbar and execute each of the opened files in the order listed above.

Creation of the database and import of schema can be done from command line as well. In order to do that, execute following commands from the directory where Tigase XMPP Server is installed otherwise paths to the schema need to be adjusted accordingly:

sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -Q "CREATE DATABASE [%database%]"
sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -Q "CREATE LOGIN [%user%] WITH PASSWORD=N'%password%', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[%database%]"
sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -d %database% -Q "ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::%database% TO %user%;"
sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -d %database% -i database\sqlserver-schema-7-1-schema.sql
sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -d %database% -i database\sqlserver-schema-7-1-sp.sql
sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -d %database% -i database\sqlserver-schema-7-1-props.sql
sqlcmd -S %servername% -U %root_user% -P %root_pass% -d %database% -i database\sqlserver-pubsub-schema-3.2.0.sql

Above can be automatized with provided script %tigase-server%\scripts\db-create-sqlserver.cmd (note: it needs to be executed from main Tigase XMPP Server directory due to maintain correct paths):

$ scripts\db-create-sqlserver.cmd %database_servername% %database_name% %tigase_username% %tigase_password% %root_username% %root_password%

If no parameters are provided then the following defaults are used:

%database_servername%=localhost
%database_name%=tigasedb
%tigase_username%=tigase
%tigase_password%=tigase12
%root_username%=root
%root_password%=root

Configuration of the MS SQL Server follows general database convention.

dataSource {
    default () {
        uri = 'jdbc:[jtds:]sqlserver://db_hostname:port[;property=val]'
    }
}

where any number of additional parameters can (and should) consist of:

Example:

dataSource {
    default () {
        uri = 'jdbc:sqlserver://hostname:1433;databaseName=tigasedb;user=tigase;password=tigase12;schema=dbo;lastUpdateCount=false'
    }
}

Tigase XMPP Server supports two JDBC drivers intended to be used with Microsoft SQL Server - one created and provided by Microsoft itself and the alternative implementation - jTDS. Tigase is shipped with the latter in the distribution packages. Starting with the version 7.1.0 we recommend using jDTS driver that is shipped with Tigase as JDBC driver created by Microsoft can cause problems with some components in cluster installations. MS driver can be downloaded form the website: JDBC Drivers 4.0, 4.1 for SQL Server then unpack the archive. Copy sqljdbc_4.0/enu/sqljdbc4.jar file to ${tigase-server}/jars directory.

Depending on the driver used uri needs to be configured accordingly.

Run the PostgreSQL command line client and enter following instructions:

Add the tigase_user:

psql=# create role tigase_user with login password 'tigase123';

Next, Create the database for the Tigase server with tigase_user as owner of database:

psql=# create database tigasedb owner tigase_user;

psql=# \connect tigasedb

psql=# \i database/postgresql-common-0.0.1.sql

postgresql-common-0.0.1.sql
postgresql-common-0.0.2.sql
postgresql-server-7.0.0.sql
postgresql-server-7.1.0.sql
postgresql-server-8.0.0.sql
postgresql-muc-3.0.0.sql
postgresql-pubsub-3.1.0.sql
postgresql-pubsub-3.2.0.sql
postgresql-pubsub-4.0.0.sql

postgresql-socks5-2.0.0.sql
postgresql-push-1.0.0.sql
postgresql-message-archiving-2.0.0.sql
postgresql-unified-archive-2.0.0.sql

Follow steps below to prepare the PostgreSQL database:

First, add the tigase_user:

createuser -U admin_db_user -W -D -R -S -P tigase_user

You will be asked for credentials for admin_db_user and password for new database user.

Create the database for the Tigase server with tigase_user as owner of database:

createdb -U admin_db_user -W -O tigase_user tigasedb

psql -q -U tigase_user -W tigasedb -f database/postgresql-common-0.0.1.sql
psql -q -U tigase_user -W tigasedb -f database/postgresql-common-0.0.2.sql
etc..

To run Tigase MongoDB support library requires drivers for MongoDB for Java which can be downloaded from here. This driver needs to be placed in jars/ directory located in Tigase XMPP Server installation directory. If you are using a dist-max distribution, it is already included.

Note that fresh installations of MongoDB do not come with users or databases installed. Once you have setup MongoDB you will need to create a user to be used with Tigase. To do this, bring up the mongo console by running mongo.exe in a cmd window for windows, or run mongo in linux. Once connected, enter then following:

use admin
db.createUser( { user: "tigase",
                 pwd: "password",
                 customData: { employeeId: 12345 },
                 roles: [ "root" ]
                }
              )

Be sure to give this user a root role in order to properly write to the database. Once you receive a user successfully created message, you are ready to install tigase on MongoDB.

dataSource {
    default () {
        uri = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
    }
}
userRepository {
    default () {}
}
authRepository {
    default () {}
}

userRepository {
    default () {
        cls = 'tigase.mongodb.MongoRepository'
    }
}
authRepository {
    default () {
        cls = 'tigase.mongodb.MongoRepository'
    }
}

muc {
    'history-db-uri' = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
}

muc {
    'history-db' = 'tigase.mongodb.muc.MongoHistoryProvider'
}

pubsub {
    'pubsub-repo-url' = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
}

pubsub {
    'pubsub-repo-class' = 'tigase.mongodb.pubsub.PubSubDAOMongo'
}

'message-archive' {
    'archive-repo-uri' = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
}

'message-archive' {
    'archive-repo-class' = 'tigase.mongodb.archive.MongoMessageArchiveRepository'
}

This description contains only basic description of schema and only basic part of it. More collections may be created if additional components of Tigase XMPP Server are loaded and configured to use MongoDB.
