Hi!
The reason why the oracle backend is not included in django-jython any more is, that I have nearly no experience with oracle, and do not own a license of this software.
If you are interested in bringing back the oracle support, I think the most easy way is to start from Django's own Oracle backend. Copy it to the django-jython source code, an replace code that is related to cx_Oracle
with code that works with JDBC. Basically this is what the classes in doj.db.backens
module are for. django-jython comes with some test cases to check if your backend is working - you find them in doj.tests.db
.
I hope this gives you a good starting point. It would be great if you could bring back the support for Oracle on django-jython! :-)
Thanks for the explanation! I don't know if I'll be able to implement it to the point where it can be supported, given my limited use, but we'll see.
What would it take to bring back support for Oracle? I looked at the existing drivers briefly, but I'm not sure where to start.
