This topic will be of interest to many people across various organizations today who are deliberating on whether to adopt drupal or not and if so to what extent.

We are a group of Drupal enthusiasts within a large IT services provider interested in using the drupal platform to configure and create simple tools to help the various teams within the organization in day to day activities.

I am currently trying to convince the bigwigs at my company that Drupal is the way to go to provide us with a CMS solution for our clients' sites. We set up new sites for clients all the time and manage and host them. Right now we are running on IIS utilizing a CMS written in classic ASP that cost the company some umpteen gaziliions of dollars to make.

I'm cross posting this from here in case anyone else has any information to share: http://drupal.org/node/187464

Hi Fellow Drupalers,
I'm working on a session for BADCAMP (http://badcamp07.org) where we will walk through some cool, popular and high performance Drupal sites. The main focus here is high-profile, big companies, high traffic. What is the biggest and highest traffic Drupal site out there?

After 4 days (!?) development, a new DB2 driver for Drupal 6.x is now ready for testing. It takes IBM's D5 DB2 implementation as base reference, and reuse almost all Oracle driver for Drupal 6.x progress for overcoming DB2-specific limitations.

After over 1.5 years of development (since 29/11, 2005), plus number of developers contribution, and help of Drupal 6.x schema API, a new Oracle driver for Drupal 6.x is now ready for testing.

The latest version of Oracle driver overcome a lot of Oracle-specific limitation, and able to work well as like as existing Drupal database driver, e.g. MySQL and PgSQL.

I am sorry for the poor quality of the screen cast. I've never done one, and I used "wink" to do it. I'll probabley update the "how to" later down the road.

So, I made a screen-cast of my quickbooks module. It's very pre-alpha, and the screen-cast is not the best. But I did it quickly. I've been getting a few inquiries, and I figured this would be the easiest way to explain it. I'll be releasing it to the cvs by the end of this week so hopefully I can some collaboration on it.

Currently what it does:
- Brings in customers

So we recently met with a client we going to take on about their system and where they want to go. They are a well established B2B company that deal with many business. They are not a large company, but they do a fair amount of business. Currently, their systems are very old and outdated, however, they work.

So, I was checking out ODBTP < http://odbtp.sourceforge.net/ > and considering making a drupal driver for it. This would allow many database to now be supported through ODBC. I also hear that ODBTP is just as fast as a native driver and the speed of ODBC really depends on the implementation of the vendor of ODBC. Just seeing if anyone had any experience with it and/or thoughts?

Ok, i'll be the one to call the pink elephant in the room.....stored procedures do exisit. There I said it. :). With MySQL 5 starting to support them, Postgres has had them, and the push latley to start using a wider array and more robust DB's (oracle, mssql, DB2), it is time I think to start thinking about a database abstraction layer to handel stored procedures. I'm thinking perhaps something like this:

/**
* @param $proc_name Name of the stored proc.
* @param $args Argements to send to the proc indexed by the variables name. e.g. array('name' => 'Jim Smith');

Ok, so I finally got around to it. Drupal 5.0 (6.0-dev) MS SQL support. I am hoping this thread can be a sort of 'behind the scenes' working group with official patches posted to Drupal.org.

NOTE: This has been tested with:

• PHP 5.1.6
• SQL Server Standard 2005
• ntwdblib.dll v. 2000.80.194.0 (you will need this updated version and not the one that comes with your php install)

With that said, on to the patch. It is definalty a hefty one at 51KB. So, a quick over-view of what it does.
First, a few files have been added:
