Using the QuickStart database
The QuickStart database is the H2 Database Engine. Guidewire includes the QuickStart database for the convenience of those who need a lightweight solution for demonstration and configuration purposes. By default, PolicyCenter uses the QuickStart database.
Limitations to the QuickStart database
While the QuickStart database is convenient, Guidewire does not support using it for production. The following are limitations to using the QuickStart database:
- The QuickStart database only supports one connection at a time. Therefore, you cannot have the server running and look at the schema at the same time.
- You cannot test your cluster against the QuickStart database.
- The QuickStart database does not support all upgrades. Guidewire does not test upgrades on the QuickStart database other than the process of creating a database.
How to drop the QuickStart database
Open a command prompt in the PolicyCenter installation directory and enter
gwb dropDb.
