- =============================
- Platform and database support
- =============================
-
- Operating system
- ================
-
- Oscar does not support for Microsoft Windows. Some of Oscar's dependencies don't support Windows and/or are
- tricky to install properly in that environment, and therefore you might encounter some errors that prevent a
- successful installation. Contributions to improve support for Windows are welcome.
-
-
- Databases
- =========
-
- Oscar officially supports PostgreSQL. Oscar is likely to work with the following databases, but official support is
- not provided for them:
-
- * MariaDB
- * Oracle
- * SQLite (this is suitable only for use in development)
-
- Oscar does not support MySQL. Developers are likely to encounter issues related to Unicode handling and update queries
- for certain query types. Both issues are caused by limitations in MySQL itself, or in Django's ORM support for MySQL.
- Relevant discussions on Django project are:
-
- * `Make MySQL backend default to utf8mb4 encoding <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18392>`_.
- * `QuerySet.update() fails on MySQL if a subquery references the base table <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28787>`_.
