By using MySQL you can benefit from features in the MySQL infrastructure such as backup and restore.
For Artifactory to run with MySQL you must create a dedicated MySQL database instance and then configure Artifactory to use it as described in the following sections.
Enable Non-PostgreSQL Database
From Artifactory 7.84, new Artifactory installations support only PostgreSQL in the default installation. Artifactory will not start after installation unless you configure the system.yaml file to support non-PostgreSQL database.
For more information on configuring the system.yaml after installation, see Configure Artifactory to use MySQL.
