Just one question, what about postgresql support and how does that work?
A little bit better than Care2x itself.
It has knowledgeable and very active developers and mailing list. Since August 2004 they have a few corporations backing them up and injecting money in the project.
This article describes a typical situation: http://techdocs.postgresql.org/techdocs/interview-stosberg.php
a) As they say in their site:
"If you're having problems with an aspect of postgreSQL, the first place to look for assistance is in the Mailing list archives at http://archives.postgresql.org
If that doesn't work, you can join the postgreSQL "General" mailing list and ask for assistance there. Details for joining this mailing list can be found at the postgreSQL Users Lounge.
Just in case that doesn't work for you either, we have an #postgresql IRC Channel on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net), you're welcome to ask questions there."
b) You could always start by looking in: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Databases/PostgreSQL/
c) Books and technical documentation at: http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ http://www.commandprompt.com/ppbook/ http://www.archonet.com/pgdocs/pgnotes.html http://techdocs.postgresql.org/techdocs/bookreviews.php
d) some useful archives: http://www.pgsql.ru/db/pgsearch/stat.html http://archives.postgresql.org/
e) paid tech support: http://www.dbexperts.net/postgresql
info: Compiere took oracle as database so that they don't have to think
about the support for the database...
In a recent interview to Linux Magazine, when asked "What challenges lie ahead?", Compiere's Kathy Pink just answered:
"PINK: Database independence is a big issue. Compiere is currently based on Oracle to provide the 100% availability required for business. Compiere is easy to port to IBM's DB/2, but there's enormous demand for Open Source databases. The next generation of our core engine will be database independent, requiring just ANSI SQL, views, and functions. Untethered from a specific database, the enterprise can decide what level of stability and performance they require from a database. We also want to leverage the work we do.
We're also using the opportunity to implement database independence to improve our core engine and completely implement the OMG workflow facility. With that, we gain even higher flexibility (workflow is usually just an add-on in ERP), and even performance benefits."
(Full interview on: http://www.linux-mag.com/2004-02/potm_01.html)
So, one could reasonably assume that there will be a database independent Compiere in the near future...
