I would be interested in building a Radiant site with the IBM DB2 9.1 
database as a back end. 
Such product is available in a free express edition, and provides native 
XML data storage, which would be very useful for our site, devoted to 
XBRL, a language derived from XML used for representing financial 
documents  (http://xbrl.org).

I have installed the IBM_DB adapter version 0.4.6 and had it running. The 
adapter is still limited, since it does not support rename_column. 
I was able to create the radiant bootstrap database substituting the final 
DB schema for the sequence of migrations. 
I can create smippets and layouts, but cannot create pages. After posting 
the "create" command, I get an error message of the sort (translated from 
Italian):

Found unforeseen token ")" after "UPDATE pages SET (".  Token may be: 
"<update_target_list>".  SQLSTATE=42601
 SQLCODE=-104' 

Before wasting too much time, I would like to know if someone in the 
Radiant community has considered supporting DB2.
In order to support it, what should be needed? Is a compliant ruby db 
adapter enough, or you have to tweak specific SQL statements somewhere in 
radiant code?

Thanks in advance
