Making MT work with an Oracle back-end

Posted : May 4, 2004 at 7:48 pm [America/Los_Angeles]

Has anyone tried running Movable Type with an Oracle back-end. The one place where I see an explicit reference to MySQL is
in the config file (mt.cfg):

ObjectDriver DBI::mysql
Database mt
DBUser mt

Is it as simple as changing the DBI::mysql reference to DBI::Oracle and then ensuring that there is an Oracle schema/instance that has the MT
tables? Has anyone tried this?

If I figure it out, I promise to write about it here

Update:
I did not find a SINGLE reference talking about configuring Movable Type and Oracle. I find it strange that someone has not attempted to do this. Unfortunately, this will have to wait as I really have a few other things on my plate before I can dive into this project.
