Database

I decided to use PostgreSQL, because

• It is easy to set up
• It is reasonably strict by default. For example, when you try to insert a 256-character string in varchar(64), you get an error. (In MySQL, it gets silently truncated by default!)

TODO

Naming

• Library × Identifier × PlainLibraryIdentifier – should be renamed
  • Identifier is the most verbose one, it comes from OWASP Dependency Check.
  • Library is a record stored in our database.
  • PlainLibraryIdentifier is just version-less (e.g. "$groupId:$artifactId") library identifier.
