Support for Microsoft SQL Server?

We are looking to deploy Nakama Server but need to harness our existing MSSQL Server infrastructure. I can see the documentation mentions unofficial PostgreSQL Server support and some other mentions of using the pgx library to connect to databases.

Is pgx likely to be able to connect and interface with MSSQL Server?

Hello @kburgin,

Nakama is not compatible with MSSQL Server, only Postgres and Postgres wire-compatible databases (such as CockroachDB).

Best.

This is a shame. MS SQL Server is the standard in the enterprises we’ve got experience with. Cockroach’s enterprise licensing change is also a shame. Our customers have already asked if we can swap Nakama out for another solution purely because of the database support :frowning:

Postgres provides some hope, but it seems like this is not officially supported, just “compatible”? If we build Postgres into a solution and need help in future will there be any support from Nakama?

PostgreSQL is absolutely officially supported - we’re aware the docs are a bit outdated on this regard and may give out the incorrect idea that it isn’t.

I suggest that you get in touch via hello@heroiclabs.com to discuss further and so that we can better understand your needs.

Best.
