This PR removes PostgreSQL support from TightBlog to streamline the codebase and reduce maintenance overhead. The application now supports two databases:

  • Apache Derby: For embedded/development use and testing
  • MySQL: For production deployments requiring external database

Changes Made

Build Configuration

  • Removed org.postgresql:postgresql dependency from build.gradle
  • Added mysql:mysql-connector-java dependency to support MySQL deployments
  • Updated DDL generation script to exclude PostgreSQL schema generation

Database Scripts

  • Deleted src/main/resources/dbscripts/postgresql-createdb.sql
  • Removed PostgreSQL DDL generation from etc/sqlgen/src/main/groovy/genDDL.groovy

Docker Configuration

  • Updated docker/web/application-tbcustom.properties to use MySQL instead of PostgreSQL
  • Replaced PostgreSQL database service in docker/docker-compose.yml with MySQL 8.0 service
  • Configured MySQL with proper database credentials and volume mounting

Impact

This change has no impact on the application's core functionality since TightBlog uses JPA/Hibernate abstractions for database operations. The removal focuses only on:

  • Build-time dependencies
  • Database schema generation scripts
  • Docker deployment configurations

Testing

  • ✅ All unit tests (126) pass
  • ✅ All integration tests (50) pass
  • ✅ Application compiles successfully
  • ✅ No security vulnerabilities introduced

The codebase is now cleaner and more focused, supporting the two most commonly used database configurations while maintaining full backward compatibility for existing Derby and MySQL deployments.
