Andew,
If I remember correctly, DSpace 2.0 should not be dependent on
database software, so you can use whatever DB you like.
Having looked some more into DSpace 2.0 I think it is not ready
enough. I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong. DSpace 1.5.1
seems eminently usable to me and seems to have most of the
functionality that I require. So it seems to me that an increment to
support MySQL is more appropriate. I wonder who else is using or
considering using DSpace 1.5.1 with MySQL....?
Yes, 2.0 is not going to be giving you an immediate solution to your
problem.
I would recommend exploring this further, I'm not sure why there
hasn't been a port to MySQL placed into dspace/etc/myslq/*.sql yet. It
would be a starting point for customization. The challenge with
porting to any other SQL dialect with DSpace is that there are
conditional blocks of code peppered throughout the implementation that
are vendor specific, you may find yourself adding conditions to these
for mysql where appropriate.

Mark
