Re: [VuFind-General] [VuFind-Tech] installing VuFind problem

[Jorge R. <s....@ho...>]

Hi Guys,

 

Corinthian (aka Horizon 8.0, 2005) data base works with
Oracle, DB2 and MSsql Server and manage a different data structure than other
Horizon DB versions.

 

Horizon 7.5 (2011) is the official version and works
with Sybase and MSsql (with Sybase compatibility)…

 

For this reason Horizon 8 requires a new VUfind driver,
unfortunately less than a dozen of Corinthians are ruining in the world…

 

Regards

 

Jorge

I'm not sure if the Oracle-based Horizon responds to the same protocols or requires a different approach using separate Oracle functions.  If the existing driver does not work, it may be necessary to rework some of the driver calls to use the database differently, but hopefully that would not be a terribly difficult task.  Let us know if you need more help.
