>From the Midgard web page:
How difficult would it be to replace MySQL with Oracle or some other RDBMS?
With the current releases of Midgard, impossible. There is some
MySQL-specific stuff in the Midgard code. However, there has been some talk
of supporting other databases. Why this hasn't been done already is because
there just hasn't been enough need for it.
Midgard 2.0 (due out in Q4 1999) should work with any ODBC-enabled database.
