Hello,
How can I connect/ integrate MySql/Sql Server with camunda,
there is anyone who has a video or screenshots about that?

Hello YazanAsaad

Can you be a bit more specific about what you trying to do?

What do you mean when you say connect/integrate? Do you mean using Camunda with a MySQL / SQL Server as database backend?

How are you using Camunda? Standalone Tomcat distribution, inside JEE container / etc?

Hello mimaom,
yes, I want to integrate with MySQL / SQL Server as database backend.
I work with example to learn camunda workflow platfrom, and I want to be integrated with database as a backend in order to display values and to do an injection to database,
can you please help me,
I searched in google for a guidance, but I didin’t found that,
I use the standart camunda, camunda camunda modeler + tasklist and cookbit,
I didn’t have Tomecat or JEE container,

Hello Yazan

I noticed that you wrote you are working with examples to learn Camunda. If that is the case and you have no special reason for using MySQL / SQL Server, I would recommend that you just use the plain Camunda distribution (from https://camunda.com/download/) - that is actually a Tomcat distribution that comes with a database out-of-the-box (H2). It’s perfectly fine for learning Camunda. If you do need access to the database, you can use the URL http://localhost:8080/h2/h2/ to access the H2 database. Use the string “jdbc:h2:./camunda-h2-dbs/process-engine” as the JDBC URL and “sa” as the password.

PS: The out-of-the-box H2 database is NOT for production use.

Hello Yazan

If you download the following Camunda distribution Camunda BPM Tomcat you will get a fully functioning Camunda running on a Tomcat server and using the H2 database. You don’t need to do anything else to start the Camunda BPM server and start learning.

Just unzip the file and start the start-camunda script.
