Documentation for JIRA 4.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

JIRA requires a relational database for storage of issue data.

The time at which you connect JIRA to a database depends on whether you are using the JIRA Standalone distribution or the JIRA WAR/EAR distribution:

JIRA Standalone:

As part of its installation process, JIRA Standalone automatically installs, configures and connects itself to an HSQLDB database. This is fine for evaluation purposes, however HSQLDB is prone to database corruption. For production installations, we strongly recommend that you connect JIRA to an enterprise database. This also lets you take advantage of existing database backup and recovery procedures.

JIRA WAR/EAR:

When you install JIRA WAR/EAR, you will need to manually configure your database connection.

The following instructions apply to both JIRA Standalone and JIRA WAR/EAR:

データベースの選択

データベースの選択は、その後の JIRA 管理に大きく影響します。選択肢がすでに決まっている場合はまず、サポートするデータベースのリスト をご覧ください。

If you are looking for a low-cost solution, consider using MySQL or PostgreSQL as both of these are open source (free) software.
