Hi I am currently involved with WebStack project in OpenSolaris and would like to add more extensions for recently integrated PHP so that programmers can use our platform for development / production purposes. Based on the some of the feedback we received from some customers (outside Sun), it seems that we need to more database support within PHP and this requires databases client libraries like Free TSD , Oracle Instant Client and unixODBC to pre-exist on the system.
Now, I am not a database expert and I would like to hear your views as to can we add these databases within SXDE. If possible, I will be more than happy to work / assist with some one in Open Solaris database team to help with the integration of these libraries. Note: Please find below an email that I sent to webstack-discuss and sfwnv-discuss (where some one referred me to this alias.) thanks Sriram Sriram Natarajan wrote: > Hi > I am currently exploring the possibility of adding support for more > databases like MSSQL , Oracle within PHP.
