Great idea. There is a lot of interest in DB/2 in the commercial world, especially if you assume and test with z/OS DB/2 as the backend database. The combination of Bacula on Linux for Z and the DB/2 on z/OS is a very compelling argument for enterprise deployment. If you don't have a z/OS system handy, talk to me offlist and I can put you in touch with some people at IBM who can make development resources available. Failing that, UDB on Linux for Z would be a good choice, and there is a UDB Community Edition release for that platform (as well as Intel and POWER). > - read and understand the code of the different catalog backends. > - start with one of the existing catalog backends - SQLite, MySQL, > PostgreSQL - and start migrating it to DB2 SQL. I did a little bit of looking at this a while back. Pay very close attention to the Postgres back end; Postgres is very similar in behavior and manner to DB/2 (both are picky about standards compliance, and have a lot of the same quirks). I have a lot of DB/2 types around here; I can probably help you with queries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
