Also if there isn't, if I could start a project to create this support, I mean
if this is possible and/or desirable.
If you want support, submit a patch. Look
in Database.php and various
subclasses, like DatabasePostgres.php. These are in includes/db/ in
current trunk. Write up a DatabaseDB2.php and submit it on Bugzilla
or somewhere. Changes also might be needed to the installer script to
give it as an installation option.
Indeed, good luck implementing it. :)
But I will warn you -- it'll save you a *lot* of trouble to just install
a copy of MySQL. It'll actually *work* instead of spending months
discovering new compatibility problems every time you try a new feature
or upgrade.
