Hi Kevin, What about volunteers for every database ?
I can volunteer for oracle database. Currently I am trying to make all the trunk testcases successful against oracleDB. So, if every database has volunteers to make sure all openJPA testcases run against a particular DB then I guess it would help. What do you think ? Thanks, Ravi. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Sutter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 3:37 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Database support Hi, I'm trolling... I'm looking for ideas on how we can better integrate with the various database vendors. Many of us committers have our own "favorite" databases due to our employers' needs. But, what about the MySQL, or Postgres, or SQL Server, or pick your favorite databases? I know we have had some interest from these database vendors on our users and dev forums, but I'm looking for ways to get these vendors more involved. When they produce a new version of their database, it would be great to announce OpenJPA support. And, if they have new features to take advantage of, that would be even better. Everybody's development and tests teams are limited. I understand that. But, I'm looking for ideas on how we can work together to accomplish this task. I'm going to cross post on both users and dev forums to see if there any lurkers that might have some ideas. Just to provide a real world example... I was just pinged about MS SQL Server 2008 support. Our OpenJPA manual only documents SQL Server 2005 support. I don't have experience with SQL Server. So, it made me think how we could improve this aspect of our OpenJPA database support. Any thoughts? Kevin
