Database 2
Another database instance for Connect will be hold and used under the folder, which is
intended to hold data, accessible by and for all users. The path to this folder is stored in the
standardized system variable %PROGRAMDATA%. The Connect database instance is located in the
subfolder "Connect\MySQL".
As this database will be in extremely strong usage, virus protection on this folder and its sub-
folders may have a serious impact on the performance of Connect.
Database Considerations
This page describes the different considerations and pre-requisites for the database back-end
used by PrintShop Mail Connect, whether using the MariaDBinstance provided by the installer,
or pre-existing (external) instance.
Using the MariaDBInstance from the Installer
The MariaDB Instance provided in the "Installation Wizard" on page32 is already pre-
configured with options to provide the most stable back-end setup.
Installing Connect using an existing MySQL instance
If MySQL Server is already present and you wish to use it, the following should be taken into
consideration:
l The minimum supported MySQL version is MySQL5.6.
l The MySQL account must have access to all permissions using the GRANT Command,
including creating databases.
l The database configuration must include the following options:
l max_connections = 200 : PrintShop Mail Connect uses a lot of database
connections. This number ensures that even in high volume environments, enough
connections will be available.
