I'm trying to get MediaWiki going with Oracle as the backend. It is listed as ready for beta test in the 1.17 release notes.
"Oracle Database support has been improved, and is now ready for beta testing...Oracle support is not yet recommended for use in production."
I haven't seen any mention of Oracle since 1.17.
I've hit several showstopper bugs in the installer which makes me wonder if Oracle support is still being worked on. I realize it's beta, but these are "you can't get past the installer using Oracle" types of things. Examples are bugs 41063 and 41146 which I filed this week. .
I'm not asking about those bugs per se, but rather an overall question - is Oracle support still being actively developed or has it fallen to the wayside? If it's no longer really being worked on, cool, I'll switch gears...if it is, then I'll wait on the bugs.
Hopefully this doesn't come off as whinging - just asking overall about Oracle support for MW.
Thanks!
Oracle as the DB back-end for MW is still being supported, however as i am probably the only developer working on it and as this year has been a lot busier than usual for me i've fallen behind in managing these bugs.
