The test kits were initially developed with a mindset of allowing the
kits to be ported to other database back ends.  The test kits just
happened to start with SAP because it was an open source database. 
PostgreSQL and MySQL were to be next in line.  There is good interest
in working to port to PostgreSQL right now, but not much action on the
MySQL side.

It should be possible to port to Oracle 9i or DB2, but there would be 
some work involved.  There is now a task list defining sub projects 
that define tasks for porting each of the DBT workloads to PostgreSQL.
The same tasks that need to be done for postgress are also the ones
that need to be applied to oracle or DB2 at a minimum.

Hopefully, these would be a start to defining the amount of work
required.  As far as tuning the workload, each database would dictate
the amount of work involved based on their capabilities.
