Btw Didn't even know Umbraco ran on MySQL :)

Well you learn something every day.

Thanks for the response Rune.

Do you know if Tea Commerce is planning on supporting MySQL in the future?

No, we're not planning on that. So sorry again. Umbraco is married to MS, and so are we :)

Hope you find a solution

Ah, that's good to know (not good though!) :-(

Yes, Umbraco (not sure since which version) runs on MySQL - I have built a few sites using MySQL and it works very well!

@Rune - "Umbraco is married to MS" ... ? It used to be only MSSQL but not any more. I understood that Tea Commerce was a "low cost" eCommerce option, if so it needs to support MySQL (in my opinion!!).

Thanks Rune. I am currently looking at Umbraco e-commerce solutions, and Tea Commerce is a very good option. All of our Umbraco sites run off a MySQL database, so unfortunately, we cannot use Tea Commerce with our current setup.

That's unfortunate. We are planning a new version of Tea Commerce for Umbraco 5. Maybe that will be different, but I cannot promise you anything.

@Gordon Thanks for the info. I will talk to Anders Burla about it tomorrow.

I would also like to see mysql and postgres support. If you moved your data access from 'linq to sql' to the entity framework I believe you would automatically get support for other databases. This would also help get support for sql compact edition (v4), as umbraco now supports that and it is another great option for a cheap ecommerce site.

Hi Zac,

That sounds doable. We will look at it. Have to get the economy working for us as well. But if it means more customers, it might be worth it.

As far as low cost solutions go, I think Umbraco has such a small database footprint that free SQL Express should handle most peoples needs.

Hi guys,

I also run all my umbraco sites on mySQl for a few years and i am (was) interested in using teacommerce. Would be great if you guys would support it.

Is this still the case - that Tea Commerce does not work with MySQL?

Hi Gordon

Its still true - we will implement it in Tea Commerce 2 for umbraco 5 along with SqlCE, Azure, MSSQL and also MySql if Umbraco 5 supports that :)

Kind regards
Anders

@Anders. Are you uisng Hive to store your POCO-objects or putting data somewhere else?

Hi Markus

We have not started the actual development of Tea Commerce 2.0 yet - but we will use the umbraco API as much as possible - so yes I think we will use Hive and save our data in the umbraco node DB table.

Kind regards
Anders

Sweet!

Looks like Alex and the V5-team is working on some kind of higher lever API for Hive than the one currently used in V5 backoffice. Thanks for the replay!

Indeed - and we want to use that - so we will wait for them to mature the platform and make life easier for us before we start :)

Yeah. Niels posted in the Swedish user group about this that we should give V5 a try and provide feedback. Which I'm doing, but havet got serius with the back office development, as i said I know that Alex and the other guys has a plan for the new API so I think its best to wait for that before getting to involved with creating advanced backoffice stuff.

is working on a reply...
