Database Configuration

MapStore uses the geOrchestra PostgreSQL database to store resources saved by the application (maps, contexts, etc.). A specific schema, called mapstore, is used for this purpose. The schema can be created / populated using the SQL scripts in the source code database folder here.

The database connection settings are taken from the geOrchestra default.properties configuration file, and mapped to internal configuration variables (using for instance ${pgsqlHost}, etc…).

Overriding Database configuration for MapStore

In mapstore/geostore.properties there is a dedicated configuration file that contains the settings that can not be loaded from default.properties. It contains only one setting that indicates the database schema to use for MapStore.

• pgsqlGeoStoreSchema: schema used for the MapStore database (Defaults to mapstore)

This file can be used to override connection parameters defined in default.properties, to configure MapStore in a different way from the rest of the infrastructure.
