I'm working on the port to Oracle at the moment. This is a step by step process with often unexpected problems. Solving the CLOB problem was one big thing (Oracle doesn't have Memo/Text fields like Sql Server or Access), finding a way to use it without needing a complete rewrite of the forum was a second. The autocounter field (replaced by sequence and trigger) was relatively easy once I found an example of how to use a sequence in combination with a BEFORE INSERT trigger (and I didn't find that one in the Oracle docs !). Other things, like not being able to use a fieldname STRSENDER were amongst the unexpected onces. Solving the paging problem was relatively easy again (ofcourse everything is easy once you know how to do it).
So if not too many unexpected problem pop up, I should be able to have a first version ready within a week or so, but that depends on my workload here at my "real work".
thats a deal. i will do what i can, but i havnt the time to check back this often
im using oracle for ... umm... 3 years now? dunno. before i started to use oracle i used MS SQL Server and sometimes MySQL.
maybe i will be able to help you with the one or other question. another thing i am really interested in is the multilanguage support. i have an idea for it, wich i used in an earlier project. but i already found a thread where this topic is discussed.
