Hi all,
TL;DR: What DB plugins are you still using?
I'm fixing split package issues for Wonder8 and I've run into the mess
that exists in jdbc adaptors. The JavaJDBCAdaptor framework implements
several JDBCAdaptors for different databases,
https://wocommunity.org/documents/javadoc/WebObjects/5.4.2/com/webobjects/jdbcadaptor/package-summary.html
Derby, Frontbase, MySQL, and Oracle are reimplemented in wonder. Merant,
Microsoft, OpenBase, and Sybase are not.
Does anyone use any of the four that Wonder reimplements? I assume yes
on MySQL and Oracle, but what about Frontbase and Derby?
Likewise, who uses the four that are not in wonder? I know at least one
company that uses Sybase currently. What about Merant, Microsoft, OpenBase?
Since I believe these plugins register themselves, I think what I need
to do is shade out the ones which may collide with Wonder
implementations. If anyone has their own proprietary Wonder-like plugins
for the other 4, shading those out may or may not break those
implementations, depending on how they work.
For something like H2 or Postgres, which are not in the original jar, I
think I just need to rename the packages.
Thanks,
Ramsey
