-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This probably all boils down to my lack of understanding how communication from spacewalk is carried out towards the database. When I hear talk about creating a port from Oracle to PGSQL I assumed that this meant that the current development of Spacewalk was done in a way that was directly communicating with Oracle.
Also my understanding of ODBC was that it is a sort of API that one uses to communicate towards DBs, avoiding DB-specific APIs. All this mounts up to lack of understanding how DB-interaction is carried out from various languages. I guess that JDBC is the abstraction layer that I'm thinking ODBC is supposed to be. Still not entirely confident I understand what .sql things is changed to move it from Oracle to PGSQL, but I won't trouble the list with these newbie questions, I'll just go educate myself on wikipedia instead. Thanks for taking your time to reply!
