I didn't see a feature request on the site for extra database support, so here goes:
Origin: Russell Howe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 26 July 2006 What: It would be nice for the database backend to support more databases. I'm thinking of SQL Server at the moment, but I guess Oracle, DB2, MaxDB, etc are all candidates. SQL Server would presumably be implemented using FreeTDS or maybe an ODBC library? Why: We only really have one database server, which is MS SQL Server 2000. Maintaining a second one for the backup software (we grew out of SQLite, which I liked, but which didn't work so well with our database size). We don't really have a machine with the resources to run postgres, and would rather only maintain a single DBMS. We're stuck with SQL Server because pretty much all the company's custom applications (written by consultants) are locked into SQL Server 2000. I can imagine this scenario is fairly common, and it would be nice to use the existing properly specced database server for storing Bacula's catalog, rather than having to run a second DBMS. I haven't seen Bacula's database routines, but it seems like it's fairly modular and so I'm guessing that adding another database wouldn't be too much work.
