[Typo3-dev] DBAL - how to do it?

Doesn't sound like a likely situation to me.

As for the DBAL-project:

Large companies are more ready to use MySQL in mission critical situations
every day. I am not saying this is a good thing, but we get less and less
demand for the DBAL - and no sponsoring offers to speak of.

The MaxDB situation is quite interesting, because it will through MySQL AB's
proxy allow the use of both RDBMS's alternatively.

However, at this point and after two years of talking about it, we still
have no customer(s) willing and able to invest the necessary funds.
Developers from the community have not been keeping their promises (this
expressly is not true for Andreas Otto).
>From my point of view, that is the end of this story until further notice.

If your mail leads to a revival of this subject and consequently some real
progress, all the better. Just don't expect Kasper to solve it for you.

Cheers

Daniel
