There will be a database project in the near future, iirc.
If
not, I think it should be given more priority, as lack of support for the
majority of database vendors (particularly Oracle, SQLServer and DB2)
I've heard there's allready support for DB2, but I never saw the code....
We don't expect them to do this.....First (a long time ago) MMBase only had support for Informix, before it got released as an opensource project support for other databases has been build in. But it's a hell of a job to get support for all databases, but I think in the new database project, it will be made easier to support more and more databases...is a major obstacle to raising interest in MMBase as a solution in many cases. You really can't expect a company to install another database just because MMBase does not support the database they already have.
