Getting Started

This page contains most of the information you'll need to get started with Tungsten Connector.  The Tungsten Connector is also named Myosotis, which means "forget-me-not."  We renamed it when we introduced the Tungsten Stack, but the code still has the old name and probably will preserve it for quite some time.

Prerequisites

Tungsten Connector requires Sun JDK 1.5 or higher to run. To build source you will also require Apache Ant 1.7.0 or greater.

Downloads

Builds are posted on SourceForge.net on the Tungsten downloads page.

Source Code

Tungsten Connector source code is maintained in a Subversion repository. It can be checked out using the following command:

svn co https://tungsten.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tungsten/trunk/connector connector

Mailing Lists

Tungsten Connector shares mailing lists with all other Tungsten projects. Check the Tungsten mailing lists page on SourceForge.net to sign up or get access.

Setting Up the Connector

Setting up the connector is very simple.  After untaring, the conf/user.map and the conf/myosotis.properties file need to be edited. Starting Myosotis can be done with the following command:

$ ./myosotis

The default listening port is 9999. Check the connectivity with:

$ mysql -uuser -ppass -h127.0.0.1 -P9999 DB

for MySQL or

$ psql -Uuser -h127.0.0.1 -p9999 DB

for PostgreSQL.

At startup multiple configuration files can be specified. Myosotis for every configuration will start a server. This way the same Myosotis process can act on port 9999 as a MySQL server and on port 8888 as a PostgreSQL server.
