Using NodeBB with custom SQL User database?

livefromheaven

Hello,

I am new to NodeBB and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about how it works behind the scenes. I have a MS-SQL database that runs my entire platform - has anyone run NodeBB using a custom SQL user database like this? If there is an example I could look at I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

If I understand you correct, you don't want to convert your database, but want NodeBB to work with users, that still will be in your existing database (MS-SQL).
It's possible, by creating your own database driver for NodeBB.
But, actually, it's not so easy. If you don't have high skill in programming, it's near to impossible.

Maybe, but I never heard about it. You could try to wait for the NodeBB core developers. They, probably, know something, that may helps you.
