I answered this (and I think other) questions in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/49561 back in September. As far as I'm concerned, the ones worth testing and maintaining right now are: mySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle. Until DB2 and MSSQL finish their DatabaseBase subclasses and generally work (I'm aware that Postgres and Oracle still fail on some edge cases, but their completeness is far beyond the other two here), I don't see any need to test them and even less need to include them in the installer and advertise their use. The one caveat is: while Oracle does have a working schema, DatabaseBase class and (almost complete) new installer code, the maintainer hasn't been writing patches to upgrade the database, so support is not complete and should NOT be recommended outside of development environments. DB2 and MSSQL have code in the old installer, which may or may not work. In either case, it's not getting fixed at this point. The old installer is dead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
