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 After the vote finishes, I will update our documentation and create a page about this according to the vote's result.

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
