Some questions about Diagnostic Info

Hello, I have the following report:

{
     "browser-info":{
          "language":"it-IT",
          "platform":"Win32",
          "userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
          "vendor":"Google Inc."  
   },
     "system-info":{
          "file.encoding":"UTF-8",
          "java.runtime.name":"OpenJDK Runtime Environment",

          "user.timezone":"Europe/Rome"  
   },
     "metabase-info":{
          "databases":[

      ],
          "hosting-env":"unknown",
          "application-database":"h2",
          "application-database-details":{
               "database":{
                    "name":"H2",
                    "version":"1.4.197 (2018-03-18)"      
         },
               "jdbc-driver":{
                    "name":"H2 JDBC Driver",
                    "version":"1.4.197 (2018-03-18)"      
         }    
      },
          "run-mode":"prod",
          "version":{
               "date":"2022-09-29",
               "tag":"v0.44.4",
               "branch":"release-x.44.x",
               "hash":"382d728"    
      },
          "settings":{
               "report-timezone":"Europe/Berlin"    
      }  
   }
}

The questions are

  1. to know which engine the application is running on, do I need to look at the "application-database" key?
  2. what does the stuff inside "application-database-details" mean?
  3. if I switch to Oracle (following the official guide), can the report help me to know if the migration was successful?

Thanks in advance

Hi @MC23

  1. You are using H2, as it notes in "application-database".
  2. It's version information about the type of application database.
  3. You use H2, Postgres or MariaDB/MySQL as the application database - no other types are supported:

    You can migrate away from H2 following this guide:
