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.
