+1, of course, it is really good to have this.

Hello,
I am +1 for this also since it's my role in the community to make sure
databases work.
The testing procedure (which I already do) is "executed after the RC1
release of a version and consists in:
* setting up an XWiki instance on a vanilla database to test if the
database is correctly created from scratch and a few basic manual tests
* perform a migration from an older version (ATM using 2.7.2) to the latest
XWiki RC1 version to see if the migration works well. Mostly I check for
console errors and if there are none, I perform a few basic tests like
retrieving attachments that were inside the wiki before the migration, etc
Maybe for the 4.0 it would be good to start some migration testing before
the RC, since what I have written is really heavy, and I am a little bit
worried on that point. I do not have the resources to do these test myself,
but Ludovic has kindly proposed to conduct them, I suppose that you are the
one who should do the real work ? I will assist has much as I can if there
is any issue.
After the vote finishes, I will update our documentation and create a page
about this according to the vote's result.
Regards,
Sorin B.

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
