Just the other day I dropped a note in the Drupal.org forums asking for some volunteer ORACLE testers for the OraDrup project. I was almost shocked at the speed with which the topic hit the Drupal.org front page.

So, for the benefit of people coming here from Drupal.org and, no doubt, other places, I'll use this as a signpost, indicating the general direction of the ORACLE/Drupal goodies.

I would first like to remind people that this is still just a call for volunteer testers. Let's not get too over-excited! I have spent a fair amount of time in the testing phase and have exhausted the avenues down which I had planned to go. I am really very keen, now, to hear from people wishing to lend a hand of their own with testing. Hopefully we can expose and address any problems that are still to be discovered at this stage rather than in months to come when we're all busy doing other things.

So, if the idea of helping Drupal establish itself upon the ORACLE 9i or 10g platform excites you, please get in touch so that I can send you some more information. The goodies are available here.

Well, the aim was simple enough: to have a go at getting Drupal to run under Win2k and ORACLE 10g Express Edition.

Famous last words? ...

The OraDrup project was set up in April 2006 to bring the Drupal 4.7.x content management system into the world of the ORACLE DBMS. This was chosen because "it was there" and to date, this lofty aim appears to have stifled those brave enough to attempt it, which seems a bit of a shame.
