Several years ago, I wrote a custom CMS for a website. They now wish to switch to another CMS, and I have recommended Drupal, but I need to make sure that it will be possible to achieve the same functionality as that provided by the custom CMS. Although they plan to redo their site in the process of migrating to Drupal, you can see the existing site's public view at http://www.purplepjs.com/
Perhaps I'm looking the wrong spot, but I can't seem to find any progress update for Drupal with mySQL v5. Yes, v5 is still in beta, but the new features (i.e. stored procs and triggers) are exactly what I need and I am having the "mySQL or postgreSQL" discussion right now.
The presentation of flexinode is : Flexinode is a module that allows non-programmers to create new node types (flexible content types) in Drupal when their needs are modest.
I have tested it, and it is quite simple to use. However, what does "modest" mean?
Is there a functional limit to manage data compare to dedicated module?
Is there a limit to the number of created nodes (e.g. number of lists) ?
Is there a practical limit to the number of data per node or list (thousands, more) ?
What's your experience? Thanks to you for your advices.
I searched, and the only posts I could see about running Drupal on Oracle are 18+ months old. Has anything changed since then? Has Drupal had the ANSI and Oracle keywords changed? Has anyone written the interface? I happen to have PHP+Oracle experience, but not enough time to fix everything.
