Oracle support?
I see that support for postgres has made it into 1.0.0RC1 and am wondering about how the support for Oracle has come along?
As of Mantis 1.0.0rc1 we have the necessary infrastructure to be able to create, upgrade, and access different database types. Hence, with minor changes to the code, you can start testing on Oracle and submit bugs relating to areas that need to be changed to achieve compatibility.
We do not have access to an Oracle database, and hence it will be hard for us to implement this. Unless someone provides us with access to an Oracle database that we can use for development / testing.

Someone was looking at oracle support, however I believe they stopped. There are some notes in the bugtracker about oracle.
Some of our 'database field' renames we're because oracle does not allow >30 characters in a field.
I seem to recall that Oracle does things a bit differently to mysql/pgsql/mssql, and there are some bits of the code that don't port that well across to oracle.
If you've got a local test install, by modifying database_api.php to add oci8 (or whatever adodb call the database - http://adodb.sf.net) as a driver to the various switch() statements. And by modifying admin/install.php to add oci8 (or whatever) to the various switch() and form fields, you might find you can get up a semi-working database.
