Is it possible to make the primary database in open-SaaS as mongodb ?
"I'm relatively new to this. I appreciate your understanding and guidance. 😊

Hi @NEC kalyana Sundaram. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Currently, Wasp and its Open-SaaS template do not support MongoDB as the primary database. The primary database used is PostgreSQL. This is due to the fact that Prisma, which Wasp uses for database operations, does not currently support MongoDB for some of its commands. However, Prisma does have support for MongoDB, so it's possible that Wasp might support it in the future.
If you want to use a different database with Wasp, you can provide your own PostgreSQL database connection URL and ensure that the database is accessible from the server. You just need to provide the server with the correct
DATABASE_URL environment variable. This can be done in the .env.server file.
Here are the relevant sources for your reference:

Good bot! Yup, currently no, but it will be possible at some point in the future (not so soon though).
