Tririga Database compatibility with DBs like MySQL, Postgres (or any other non-RDBMS if possible)

Currently we use DB2 database (MLA converted) for TRIRIGA at Walmart. We have an enterprise decision to sunset DB2 database support at Walmart, So we are looking at other DB options outside of DB2, Oracle & MS SQL Server as all these have restrictions at our end as well as platform for MS SQL Server. We need TRIRIGA to be compatible with other RDBMS databases like MySQL, Postgress etc. Do you have these in the roadmap for TRIRIGA? Also any plans for non RDBMS databases like NoSQL, Mongodb etc.?

We have reached out to Andy/Kim and they requested to submit an idea to have other compatible DB options for with MLA converted TRIRIGA DB. This is a critical item for us and expecting a roadmap for it. please let us know if you need more information.

    Thank you for the idea Chinna - we discussed in depth PostgreSQL support and it is not something that we are considering. It introduces many complexities particularly for medium sized and above customers in terms of performance and scalability. And we have no plans to migrate the RDBMS SQL based database to NoSQL - again for our larger customers I have yet to see good evidence that the NoSQL databases can get close at the database sizes that we see.
