I would like to know if there is any work to have DB2 supported by Mediawiki. Also if there isn't, if I could start a project to create this support, I mean if this is possible and/or desirable.
If you want support, submit a patch. Look in Database.php and various subclasses, like DatabasePostgres.php. These are in includes/db/ in current trunk. Write up a DatabaseDB2.php and submit it on Bugzilla or somewhere. Changes also might be needed to the installer script to give it as an installation option.
Indeed, good luck implementing it. :)
But I will warn you -- it'll save you a *lot* of trouble to just install a copy of MySQL. It'll actually *work* instead of spending months discovering new compatibility problems every time you try a new feature or upgrade.

Hi Brion,
you're right, if it was only for my use and I already installed it with mysql and it was very fast to install and begin to use, excellent application. But, my suggestion is to create more compatibility for the product, I can see in this table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software that few have DB2 support, so if it is not very complex I would like to work with it.
If more people like the idea and wish to join me in this effort please let me know.

I know Aran was working on a MSSQL class recently. Might be worth your time to ask him what issues he's hit/overcome while trying to implement that.
