It looks like we'll be moving the support of other databases to XOOPS 2.5, which will be "PHP 5 only" release, therefore there will be less potential problems with incompatibilities.

I hope, this will not diminish your excitement about 2.4...

Extra database support was a "not completed task" and it has been removed from 2.4.0.

Did you look at the link Ghia posted earlier this year?

I tried this with Oracle 10i. To make this work you will likely need to refactor some sql statements in XOOPS and installed modules.

Unless you are forced to use Oracle on your production server I would suggest sticking with MySQL until the core developers have a chance to implement this in the core.

From a performance standpoint you'll find little difference between Oracle and MySQL in this situation.

Re: Oracle and 2.4

Yeah the database functions of 2.4.0 needed to be completely remodeled with a dynamic engine that would model SQL for the service..

Ie.. You have a MySQL sql file but need to install on oracle.. The database factory for the other support need to be completely remodeled so XOOPS will dynamically alter the source SQL file to the destination format. These have been removed and will be in 2.5.0

PDO with a real good ORM (like Doctrine) is the solution.
No need to reinvent the wheel.

Hervet can you give me a link... I have to schedule my work so I will be working on this soon... I am going to use MySQL as the pivot reference as it has been platform standard.

Re: Oracle and 2.4

Doctrine looks good hervet, I think I will be taking concepts from it though... XOOPS would involve being engineered differently from the start for a complete implementation of doctrine in XOOPS.

The criteria handler is what needs to change it needs support for joins and having in the query as well... As higher SQL Functions like Encrypt and Compression features. 2.5.0 tho. This is already a good example of PDO.

I am think more like a SQL translator/morpher so it will for example translate field types for Create tables from MySQL standardisation to things like firebird and progressSQL

Does this means this initiative will also support PostgreSql. It would be great.
