Hello all and Sukchan,
I'll try to use another database with nextepc. (PostgreSQL).
Let me ask something, only the HSS need the database connection?
Thanks

The PCRF also uses mongodb, which I had to find out "the hard way" when writing my osmo_dia2gsup translator to use osmo-hlr with nextepc.
May I ask for your motivation to use a different database? I'm personally also not convinced of the mongodb + nodejs approach of nextepc-hssd. No disrespect to Sukchan here, it's mainly a question of different taste / preference.
Given the excellent built-in Diameter support in Erlang/OTP, if I was to implement a "real" HSS for larger/realistic public networks, I would probably recommend to do it in Erlang, using mnesia as database backend.
For smaller, more embedded "network in a box" systems, something more self-contained like a C program with sqlite3 seems like a good idea. This is what we did in osmo-hlr.
Regards, Harald
Hello Harald,
the main reason to use another database is just the preference, I use PostgreSQL for more than 10 years and the node/mongo has a different approach.
I will try to begin this week.
Thanks
