### Description According to the [docs](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/howto/set-up-database.html#choosing-database-backend) the only supported Database backends are SQLite, MySQL and Postgres, and SQLite is not meant for production. Since some companies have already setup Infrastructures, possible using other database systems, this limitation makes it harder to integrate Airflow since it requires the installation and integration of either MySQL or Postgres. For example, in our company we use an Oracle Database. Even though the installation of an extra DB is possible, it is a measurable of an overhead and will involve multiple teams. I think the flexibility to choose between more DB systems would be a relief to many users. Example besides my case: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61195252/airflow-with-oracle-backend ### Use case/motivation We have an Oracle DB. In order to use airflow we need to setup a second DB. It would be awsome if we did not have to do that. ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
