Does Koha support anything other than MySQL? We have standardized on Oracle and SQL Server.

Hi David
It has been made to work on other databases in the past, but currently only MySQL is officially supported. It can work with mariadb as well, which is an dropin MySQL replacement, and there is active work under way to get it working with more, Postgres at least. Oracle and SQL Server aren't high on my list, being proprietary, but the work done on database layer abstraction should allow for even these to be used. You could try them with the current release, and they may work, but you would have to do some code changes at least in C4/Context.pm and the config files to get them to work. But I suspect there will be a lot of little gotchas, so I wouldn't recommend trying to run a current release of Koha on either. Chris
