As far as I know, no one has started work on Oracle support. I have no access to Oracle or I'd be doing it. If you want to give it a shot, I can help guide you through it. The first step is to add Oracle support to Rose::DB. That is, to create Rose::DB::Oracle implementing all of the public APIs of Rose::DB. Then the fun begins :) There are many undocumented/private APIs in Rose::DB that Rose::DB::Object relies upon that will need to be implemented, plus probably a few more new ones that will need to be added just for Oracle. The primary key and serial column stuff will probably also be a problem. Finally, there's the dreaded Manager which knows nothing of Oracle's potentially odd syntax for doing JOIN and LIMIT queries. Anyway, just getting Rose::DB::Oracle up and running is a good start. We'll cross those other bridges when we come to them :) -John ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
