Rainer,

My apologies for the late reply. I was subscribed to the digest format

I don't have the expertise either, but do have the test
environment... we can try. ;)

That sounds really great. Before you start coding or preparing anything,
let me check how well our DBs perform, because it's not yet clear if
they'll be able to cope with the high insertion rate we expect. If we
don't go for the Oracle database this work doesn't make sense. I bet
we'll want the Oracle, anyways.

For this evaluation, I already have a timestamp formatter that fits into
Oracle, something that can be used with the property replacer, like
%timereported:::date-oracle%. It still needs some real-world testing,
but provided it works, is it interesting for the project? If so, should
I submit the patch via bugzilla? Is there any paperwork (copyright
assingmnents a la FSF or whatever) that should be fullfilled?

Thanks.
