The goal of this group is to aggregate information, use cases, issues and foster collaboration for getting Drupal to work with the Oracle database platform.
As Drupal starts to infect enterprise with its ease of use, scalability and security, we are seeing larger enterprises asking if Drupal can work with their current Oracle infrastructure. There have been a limited number of successful use cases, primarily due to the PDO driver being outdated and because of Drupal's sometimes fractured reliance on MySql specific database functionality.
I would like this group to address all know issues in trying to use Oracle and how an organization can resolve these issues with full transparency to the community.
These steps would foster the growth of Drupal being a more database agnostic web framework. Opening more doors to potential users and organizations thinking about Drupal as their next big platform.
Oracle 19 to be released
Oracle 19 is on its way. Do we know if the drupal oracle module will need to be adjusted to work with the new oracle version?
