[slurm-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: slurmdbd database usage

Yup – Slurm is specifically tied to MySQL/MariaDB.

To get around this I wrote an C++ application that will extract job records from Slurm using “sacct” and write them into a PostgreSQL database.

The schema used in PostgreSQL is more conducive to faster adhoc queries than using “sacct”.

YMMV

Pretty sure that dog won't hunt.  There's not _just_ the tables, but I believe there's a bunch of queries and other database magic in slurmdbd that is specific to MySQL/MariaDB.

I am looking to track accounting and job data. Slurm requires the use of MySQL or MariaDB. Has anyone created the needed tables within PostGreSQL then had slurmdbd write to it? Any problems?

Thank you in advance!
