Hi Bruce, Nice to meet you. The first test you need to do is start XWiki with an empty database connected to the Firebird database. In xwiki.cfg you should setup "xwiki.superadminpassword=toto" that will activate the "superadmin" user with password "toto" which will be able to setup rights. From there you should be able to access an empty wiki and create some pages to see if everythings works. Features to test are: 1/ Pages 2/ Attachments 3/ Versions One of the key features needed is the support for large text fields (without size limits). Oracle can't do this (except in the latest versions) and required some specific hibernate hacks. Converting the default Database to Firebird might be more complex. You can download the default DB on Sourceforge. It is a zipped SQL file exported from Mysql. However I think it is quite full of specific MySQL sql. I think there are some improvement in MySQL 4.1 to the export with allows for "compatible" export so you might need to import/export in MySQL to create a more compatible file.

Thanks for the Quick response.
I am on the Firebird Foundation (FirebirdSQL.org) and will get you any support needed from our THE FirebirdSQL side to get it working.
I will host it on my site which is FirebirdXML.info or Infodes.org. That is Linux/Apache/Tomcat.
We are having hosting our user conference in germany next Month May 15th and I would like to have it operational for that event. I will make sure that XWiki gets good exposure to the Firebird Community as well.
We are pretty close to Oracle in syntax.
Can you send me a copy of the SQL code in MySQL (table creation) so I can review it and set up test.
Looks like XWiki has developed A VERY NICE piece of Open Source Software.
Regards, Bruce

Hi,
We haven't made any tests, but XWiki uses hibernate and JDBC so there is a good chance that it works. You will need to try. We are open to requests in case of problems.
