You can substitute another database for MongoDB by providing a server-side database driver and/or a client-side cache that implements an alternative API. The mongo-livedata is a good starting point for such a project.

I’m interested in Meteor, but no in Mongo DB. I’m curious about how to hook up a database that my clients use, which is usually Oracle, MySQL, or Postgres.

I have no idea what ‘the mongo-livedata’ is, and Google shows the above reference is the only reference on meteor.com — could you please tell explain, ad offer any details you have for a walk-through on this matter? It would be a shame to only have access to Mongo.

    Meteors mongo-livedata uses a “builtin” mongoDB library, database, collection and setup handled by the meteor/node runtime itself.

    Meteor does not directly support other databases by now when it comes to using the Collections API. But it should be possible to write an own connector which implements Collections.

    Meteor is in an early state right now – so be aware that API and best pactises may still change fundamentally!
