I would really like to be able to connect a DNN portal to my enterprise oracle db can I do that here?  I was under the impression I had to use a third party app.

From what I can gather, we're using the following:

    CSS STYLES FOR IBUYSPY PORTAL
    v1.0, 01/2001

And it doesn't sound like there has ever been any 'native' oracle connection functionality.  There is one person still on this project that said he thinks they basically just ripped all the SQL out and replaced it with oracle.  Is that to say simply the connection string in the config files or the way the pages actually communitcate to the db.

Thanks,

Curious about how this works with my oracle db. (Micah)

Chris,

Sorry, that was all over.  I have an application that is running an IBS portal.  The application does not use SQL Server of any kind, rather Oracle 9i and 10g.  I was checking out the newest version of DNN as we're launching a new version of the product and wanted to look at this product and see about upgrading/starting over with this.  A developer who has been around a while said he seems to remember someone "ripping out the SQL Server stuff" and inserting Oracle.  I don't exactly know what he means and I'm curious about the level of effort.

I then noticed this "if using Oracle..." when I was setting up a test site and was curious what it meant.  Hoping that it meant there was a 'native' connection to Oracle built in that would help me avoid "ripping" apart.

I hope this makes some sense.

Thanks,

Micah

Okay, great.  Thanks!

I'm wondering if I can link my Oracle tables to the DNN SQL tables and proceed that way.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,

Micah
