Radiant uses Rails' database adapters with very little modification (I
think there was a sqlite patch in there somewhere). Traditionally,
Rails has not supported DB2 well. Anything you could contribute to
improve the adapter would be appreciated in the Rails community at
large, I imagine.

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
