Database and backend implementation

Hello,
Excuse me, I have a few questions:

  1. Can I connect khoros community to a database and call this database using LIQL? if yes, which DBMS is supported the most?
  2.  Can I write the backend logic using the freemarker in khoros or is it better to have a hosted backend (python) and call the API from khorous using the free marker?

Thanks in Advance,
Shery RaniaWael

    Hey, 

    1. No not exactly, however you can access most of the Community content / data via LiQL.

    2. Primarily you would use Freemarker to write code that handles your logic and results from LiQL. 

    There are ways to access external data via APIs etc. but you’d only do this to add customisations that you can’t  do with the above tools.
