Has anyone been able to get this to work with Oracle as ooposed to MySQL? The reason I ask is we are considering purchaseing this product, but we currently have Oracle 9i and are not very excited about supporting 2 database technolgies. Any ideas? Thanks.

I guess you would have to adapt the db-class to Oracle. Having never worked with oracle, I don't know how complicated this would be, tho.

Oracle is VERY different from mysql it would involve changing alot more than the database class. There is a different syntax for the sql statements which are hardcoded into every file then you have all the new stuff with Oracle like cached functions and stuff.
The only person that I know who has done this is Matt who runs some sport forums.

FYI: Matt at www.fanhome.com did it with sybase, not oracle.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
