omniboard on mongo vs sql

[tvykruta]

We're new omniboard users. The documentation recommends using mongodb, but does not specify exactly why.
If we used a sql database like postgres, do we lose some functionality?

I don't have much experience with this, I have only dabbled by way of MySQL in Sacred, but I didn't notice any difference. Potentially the testing of SQL platforms is more limited, so just less guaranteed?

Omniboard only supports MongoDB because the Omniboard backend server does not support any other database. For SQL, we need to write code to support several databases like MySQL, Postgres, Oracle etc. since the SQL syntax will also vary between these databases.
