About Developer · **Released**: 04-26-2000

Hello, John...

How difficult would be to a user ( on a hypothetical extreme need ) to alter ( hack ) vBulletin in order to make it work with Oracle? I didn't see your code yet, as you know...

sorry to bring up old thread.
my company would be extremelly intrested in vB if it had support for Oracle and LDAP servers...
any news about these 2 features?

A Sybase version of vBulletin is in the works, or so I believe. I am not sure when or if vB will be ported to Oracle.

Also, I know LDAP is in consideration for a future release.

Being an Oracle Developer myself and having recently learned PHP. I can say that each and every SQL statement in the newest version (1.1.4) will have to be changed to support ORACLE.

Especially getting rid of those JOINs.

The actual structure of the database is ok, except for the auto-increment fields but sequences will handle that.

Given That:
If you have a good developer, he should be able to convert the entire vBulletin Application to Oracle and Stored Procedures (big performance enhancement) in about 30-45 days.

After conversion there would be little-to-no ACTUAL SQL in the product though because it is much more efficient to use stored procedures.

I personally would be willing to undertake this project for proper compensation.

The same goes for anyone wishing to run vBulletin under Sybase or SQL Server.

If anyone is interested you can contact me through the email form.

I have already ported it over to Sybase, and it looks like, if all goes well, that we and Jelsoft will reach an agreement to hand the code over to them, thereby making it an official release.

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