[MRBS-general] Which databases to support?

[Gavin W. <ga...@th...>]

Hi All

I would like some feedback, if you don't mind, on which database
backends you would like MRBS to support.  By default I am assuming MySQL
and PostgreSQL.  So what I would like to know is which others are
required?  All I need is a one line reply with the name of the database.

See below for more information about this request.

I look forward to your feedback.

Regards

Gavin.

Some background:

The main development branch is setup to use MDB to access databases of
of different types, but I am not comfortable with using it as
development has ceased in favour of MDB2.

MDB2 is in beta and the database support is packaged differently.

If the requirement from the user community is just to support MySQL and
PostgreSQL then I will retain the status quo as per the 1.2 versions and
make this clear in the documentation.

However, that said, I am still looking into options to abstract the
database interaction.
