Replacing MySQL backend with DB2 or Oracle
By sfischer , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Mon Dec 03, 2001 at 08:27:04 AM PST
Why does scoop have to be tied so tightly to MySQL? Isn't there a way to use a different database on the back end?

OK. I hate MySQL. So I'm going to see if I can make scoop a bit more database independent (that's really too bad that many of the cools stuff coming out, like search, are dependent on MySQL). So this week I'm taking my first pass through the scoop code and documentation for in intention of documenting the schema and then implementing it in DB2, initially, and then maybe Oracle. Is the data schema already documented somewhere? Also, I have some more thoughts on Wiki/Scoop integration that I'd like to get formalized and posted in the next couple of days. -swf
