Please make a handbook page out of them, and put it near (probably as a child of) the "setting up a dev environment" handbook page. We should probably have one for MySQL and one for Postgres (and if we add SQLite at a later date, one for that, too). Email is far too ephemeral to be a good reference. Thanks!
Christoph Otto (Volt)" <a-chotto@microsoft.com> from (guess) Microsoft is trying to port D6 to MS SQL. He posted 2 weeks ago about some issues with serial/sequences/identity and I think he can offer an interesting point of view about DB abstraction layers and the issues he encountered in porting D6 to Microsoft SQL. I recently had to write my classes to speed up paging in MS SQL without renouncing to all the lovely stuff Drupal can offer and well it was instructive. I think the experience people trying to port D6 to MS SQL have accumulated may be of interest to all. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
