Before starting with setup

Requirements before starting with DB Sync framework setup.

Before starting to set up the DB Sync framework, make sure to understand all concepts described in the DB Sync Concepts chapter.

The DB Sync framework needs to be installed on the system where the GAS is running. See DB Sync Installation for more details.

The GAS must be configured with DB client settings, to access the central database. Pay attention to the locale settings: UTF-8 is strongly recommended. This will be covered during the Prepare the GAS for DB Sync process.

There must be a central database with your application SQL tables. For testing purpose, we provide a demo application with a "library" demo database, that can be created from the SQL script located in: DBSYNCDIR/demo/books/version_0/library.sql

The database user to connect to the central database from server-side applications started by the GAS must have admin privileges to create/drop SQL objects.

The database login/password is defined in the server-side configuration file, which will be created during the process to set up the server configuration file.
