I'm happy to apply any patches to Radiant that allow it to support other
databases, but Radiant mostly relies on Rails to write the SQL. Getting
Radiant to run on another database has been relatively straightforward.
Databases occasionally seem to have problems with one of the
ArchiveIndexPages, but that is mostly a matter of updating the way
Radiant extracts date parts (month, day, year) from a date field.
I'd suggest that you do the following:
1. Get Radiant's test suite to pass on DB2
2. Get migrations running on DB2
3. Contribute changes to the DB2 database adapter back to Rails (if you
have any)
4. Send me a patch for Radiant (if it turns out that it needs one)
