hi,
for those interested, i have begun adding support for Oracle database backend
to 1.5, in a separate branch. at present it's somewhat usable (editing
mostly works), but many things are unimplemented or broken. to check out a
copy of the source:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.defau.lt:/root login
(press enter for password)
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.defau.lt:/root co
-rORACLE_WORK phase3
there's no installer support, so you'll need to create a LocalSettings.php
manually (easiest is to install it under MySQL and copy the file). set
$wgDBserver to any non-empty string, $wgDBtype to 'oracle' and $wgDBname to
your Oracle SID. run "(a)maintenance/oracle/tables.sql" from SQLPlus to import
the table definitions. to make a user into a sysop after installation:
SQL> CALL add_user_right('Username', 'sysop')
SQL> CALL add_user_right('Username', 'bureaucrat')
please file bugs related to Oracle support in bugzilla, blocking #652.
kate.
