It is supported to use Oracle as the application database? if it is so, which versions?

The metabase shows Postgres, MySQL or MariaDB dsatabase as "Highly Recommended" but don't say if they are the only ones supported.

Thanks
Guido.

  • Using Metabase with an H2 application database is not recommended for production deployments. For production deployments, we highly recommend using Postgres, MySQL, or MariaDB instead. If you decide to continue to use H2, please be sure to back up the database file regularly.

Hi @guido
There are only three supported database types for the application database: H2, Postgres and MariaDB/MySQL.

Metabase can connect to wide range of data sources (which is not the same as the Metabase application database):
