If your serious about this, your best bet (IMHO) is to get a copy of the code from SVN and take at look at the changes made for PostgreSQL support and then go about making similar patches for sybase. Dont expect to just dump the whole patch back to the devs though, you should probably aim toward delivering incremental patches back, and on top of that make sure to test your changes on mysql (and postgresql to be nice) to make sure you haven't broken anything.
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your comments. I don't know mysql, postgresql, or oracle, but I do know Sybase ASE. Since you mention using the postgres code, I'll assume it is closest in syntax to Sybase T-SQL. Sybase has a free edition which runs on Linux and can be used in production environments. http://www.sybase.com/linuxpromo There are limits, but it works for the Wiki I'd like to create.
I would appreciate your further comments on how challenging you think this might be since I don't know the other DBMS products. You mention testing my changes on them, but wouldn't my changes only be for the Sybase code? Testing / Learning other DBMS's might be more than I can take on.
Regards, Mark
