which will
hold our support strategies for Browsers and Databases, but more things can
be added if we agree upon.

Hi devs,
In the same spirit as what we have done for Browsers (see
http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/pn45a7qaefuplpye ) here's a proposal for
Databases since we don't have a clear strategy ATM.
I propose that by "supporting" we mean:
- issues created for these DBs in jira are not closed as won't fix and
we make
a best effort to fix them
- we include these DBs in our tests (be them
automated or manual)
- when we create new features or modify existing features we make a best
effort to
verify that they work on the supported list of DBs
Proposal:
* HSQLDB: only support the version bundled in the standalone zip
* MySQL: We officially support the last major version, i.e. 5.0+ ATM
* PostgreSQL: We officially support the last major version, i.e. 9.0+
ATM
* Oracle: We officially support the last major
version, i.e. 11g ATM
* DB2: We don't officially support it. This means that we don't test
against it, we don't ensure that new feature work on it but if someone
raises an issue in jira and it's easy to fix (or if someone provides a
patch) then we fix it.
* Derby: Same as DB2
* Microsoft SQL Server: Same as DB2
* H2: Same as DB2 for the moment (it would change if we decide to
replace HSQLDB
by H2 one day)
* Others: Same as DB2
I also propose that in the Release notes for each version of XWiki we
mention the
list of DBs we have tested against and that we "support".
Here's my +1
Thanks
-Vincent
