Hey all,
For various reasons, my organization won't support MySQL as a database. I noticed that as of the release notes for 1.6.0, MediaWiki is claimed to support Oracle though it's not well tested.
However, I don't see any documentation that mentions this in any other context. Is this something going to pop up during the install which lets me choose? What do I need in terms of an oracle instance? Do I need a dedicated tablespace?
Also, I hope to be able to install the application files on a shared filesystem (AFS) and I don't have direct access to the PHP server on the web cluster without jumping through some hoops. Will this present a problem for installation or continued running?
