Do open source databases work as an alternative to MSSQL?

In the documentation I found about the software requirements for the Blue Prism database I realized that the only indications it has are for MSSQL and Azure.

I wanted to understand if OpenSource databases also work on an infrastructure with Blue Prism, and if anyone would have any documentation with recommendations and instructions for installing them in one of these databases, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Only MSSQL is supported Lucas.

Do you have any documentation or technical impediment that justifies it?

Hi Lucas. BP Enterprise has always been designed to work with only MSSQL. If there was sufficient customer/commercial demand to change that, then the product team would consider it. The idea has been suggested before and the proposal has been marked as 'under consideration'.
