[Openinteract-dev] OI on Oracle

[Ben A. <be...@th...>]

I'm going ahead with using OI on this project, but need to use it with
Oracle (8i Enterprise). 
I understand SPOPS itself is okay with Oracle, but not OI yet. Is that
right?
I'm happy to do the work necessary to port OI to Oracle, but might need a
little help, as I don't have too much surplus time on this project.

I've been looking through the files in the website I've created with
oi_manage, to identify pieces of code which will need modification. The SQL
in the .sql files in /struct dirs mostly won't work with Oracle, these will
be easy to convert, however.

Could you help me identify any other places where DB-specific code is
located, and any new modules that will need to be created to handle
Oracle-specific code, and even any considerations you've come across in
porting OI between DBs?
