[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Sorry ... Does EVERGREEN support anything other than MySQL? We have standardized on Oracle and SQL Server.

[Rogan Hamby]

I've never heard of Evergreen on MySQL actually.  Out of the box it runs PostgreSQL though with enough hacking anything could be made to work.  It would be a lot.  I'm not sure MySQL would scale up to the size many Evergreen installs would need.  I've never used MySQL for anything larger than ~2gig databases.

As for Evergreen supporting Oracle or SQL Server (MS?) I don't know of any projects to support that.  PostgreSQL for all it's oddities is very robust and a great oss alternative for those who need the ability to scale up really large.
