Hi,

I think Bob hits the needle on the head here. We can provide a generic hook
into the Live app by making it look for a set of scripts during certain
phases. E.g. database_start.bat at startup time, database_stop.bat at
shutdown, and more. In these scripts we start the database or what we
prefer.

I am in favour of the binary/non-installer postgres approach. Simple is
good. Being independent of admin rights and existing installations weighs
more than pgadmin (which can be installed separately) in my opinion.

Work flow for the Live package could be simple: When clicked it starts
postgres, then jetty/dhis2. At system tray "exit" it stops jetty/dhis2, then
postgres.

If I read Jason correctly the database part of this is doable. I suggest we
go for this. Objections?

Lars

PS using Live for modifying hibernate.properties (and thus a low-key
change-of-database as required in SA) and update war file are great ideas,
lets start a new thread for these.
