Just started to read and understand openMRS.So to make sure it only works on mysql and other databases such as postgresql or mongodb? What about the fork of mysql Mariadb? I just installed openMRS on Ubuntu 16.x and trying to play with it.

MongoDB is very, very different. So it won’t work likely - actually it just won’t work period. Mongo is NOT a relational database, it’s what’s called a NoSQL DB.

I believe it works with mariadb as it is a fork of mysql. I’m not sure if we’ve tested postgres support, I like postgres a lot but I don’t work on the EMR so I don’t know if it’s supported.
thank you for the information I just tried mariadb and is working so far. Same configuration as per your instructions. Would be nice if we had postgres.
