Hi,
I am a new Drupal user and I am attempting to run Drupal using a database server besides mysql or pgsql. I am currently running Windows XP, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.5, and mysql 5.0. I want to be able to swap mysql out and use any other database server.
Searching the forums, I only found one article that seemed plausible, it involved creating a PDO database layer (http://drupal.org/node/134580). Is this the only method for using other database servers with Drupal? I just want to make sure I have not overlooked a more simpler solution before I go and start working on PHP PDO (which I don't know much about, yet).
