Using a Database Server

WARNING: This discusses an advanced setup and you may run into issues.

Out of the box dependency-check uses a local H2 database. The location of the database file is configured using the data directory configuration option (see CLI).

-

Some organizations may want to use a more robust centralized database. Currently, H2 in server mode and MySQL have been tested. In general, the setup is done by creating a central database, setting up a single instance of dependency-check, which can connect to the Internet, that is run in update-only mode once a day. Then the other dependency-check clients can connect, using a read-only connection, to perform the analysis. Please note that if the clients are unable to access the Internet the analysis may result in a few false negatives; see the note about Central here.

Some organizations may want to use a more robust centralized database. Currently, H2 in server mode, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MS SQL Server have been tested. In general, the setup is done by creating a central database, setting up a single instance of dependency-check, which can connect to the Internet, that is run in update-only mode once a day. Then the other dependency-check clients can connect, using a read-only connection, to perform the analysis. Please note that if the clients are unable to access the Internet the analysis may result in a few false negatives; see the note about Central here.

To setup a centralized database the following generalized steps can be used:

    -
  1. Create the database and tables using either initialize.sql - or initialize_mysql.sql.
    2. +
  2. Create the database and tables using either one of the intialization scripts found here.
  3. The account that the clients will connect using must have select granted on the tables.
