Support for Ingres Database

[j_p_ryan]

Folks,

Has anyone looked at adding Ingres to the list of databases supported by Activiti and are you aware of any demand for same?

I may be in a position to take on some of the work for this if it was felt to be a useful addition to the product.  If it is considered a “good thing” some code level pointers to the main areas that will require review / updating would be appreciated to get me started.

Regards,
James

Hi,

Haven't seen any requests for that database passing by and don't know of any community-effort to do this.

The best way to get started is by reading this:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/How+to+add+support+for+new+databases

In case some queries don't work in the DB you want to use: we are using myBatis and have a mechanism in place that allows you to easily alter a certain SQL-statement for a particular DB-system.

Hi,

can you give me just some hint´s about injecting cusom or altered SQL queries?

I have just done support for Pervasive PSQL Databases. except of 5 test all passed.
I think i could fix it with modified queries. If I´m successfull i will post my patch here.

Kind reagrds
