Not to jump on the Oracle bashing bandwagon but the Chris'  and Mason have a point.  I would have to agree with Chris Cormack in that furthering the DBIx::Class work would not only help this issue but also help mitigate issues that we may run into with db dependence in the future.  That all being said I am probably biased because of my work on bug 8798 (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8798).

Any sources as to the "MySQL going to explode soon" statement?  I'm probably behind the times, but I hadn't heard such rumours yet?


Oracle break everything they touch sooner or later :)

The work with DBIx::Class and testing with MariaDB seems like a good option, worst case scenario, we have spent time making mode db independent code.
