Database migration

[Bernardo Sobrino]

We are looking to migrate our JIRA and Confluence environments into another database such as SQL or MySQL (preferably MySQL 8.0).  We were wondering if there is a recommendation between one or the other and if SQL Express is supported as well?  We are currently still running on the built-in demo database and want to migrate away from this for production.

Hi @Bernardo Sobrino ,

Here you can find all supported databases for Jira https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/supported-platforms-938846830.html and for Confluence  https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html

Make sure to select the right Version of Jira and Confluence on the pages.

And here you can find more information about the migration
