Question: Does Clair support Mysql database? about clair HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

MySQL hasn't been tested explicitly on Cayley (and thus on Clair).

The new database implementation on which I am working on uses PostgreSQL and will provide a huge performance boost and many features as well as caveats fixes compared to the current implementation.

Rather than does clair support MySQL, allow me to answer the question will clair eventually support MySQL. There is going to be a new database implementation that uses database/sql and postgres that will be far more performant. Once that is in place, we will be open to accepting PRs that add MySQL support, but it is not a priority for us to work on. However, this will likely be nontrivial because the postgres implementation takes advantage of a couple of features that do not exist in MySQL in order to get decent performance.

@coolljt0725 We are really far in the development already. We are currently writing the new API and starting to run benchmarks on the official Docker images. I will push a branch to this repository as soon as the API will be mostly written. I'd say that the ETA is few weeks.

For now, it sits at https://github.com/Quentin-M/clair/tree/sql.
