Update on MySql support

[Ludovic Maitre <lu...@free.fr>]

Hi all,

The support for MySql is in good way, thanks to your explanations. I'm 
now able to log in and to see various screens (however lot are empty).

The bad thing is that my perl migration scripts from Oracle to MySql are 
far from perfects , and i will have a good amount of manual conversions 
to do.

The good thing is that the application is well designed, and so the 
migration to MySql is easy.  Thanks!

Basically, and as explained by Steve Toback, i just have to report the 
select statements of the functions in the db.properties file for having 
mysql to work, now that my early MySqlBroker implementation is 
implemented (or more exactly has been derived from the Oracle 
implementation).

As soon as i will have finished implementing the needed things to be 
able to do the setup phase (like described on the website), i will 
prepare a (big) patch and send it here, or to anybody interested.

If you want to help, you can also retrieve the code on my subversion, 
but be warned that this isn't finished; and that this is a low-bandwidth 
homeserver (~ 100Ko/s up, anonymous read access).

I will also post installation instructions for MySql on my wiki. I will 
be glad to contribute the doc after it has been written ! :-)

Best regards, thanks for your help, hope the week-end will help me 
finish this task! (and my girl friend will not cry :-)
