Online "beta" Book

[Robert Hicks]

In the databases section, Oracle is listed as supported. I have been on
hiatus for bit. Has Oracle made it into Django .95 or is that entry in
anticipation of Django going 1.0 before the book is released?

There was a pretty productive sprint not too long ago geared at
beating Oracle support into shape, and I think it's now passing most
of the unit tests, so hopefully it'll be stabilized and polished by
the time the book goes to press.

Just to clarify this, this Oracle support was added to the Django
development version, not the 0.95 release.

And it's not in the development version's trunk, but in the "
<http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/branches/boulder-oracle-sprint>boulder-oracle-sprint"
branch.

Any vague timeline until it merges with trunk?

One of our oracle-centric dev teams is wavering on Django (and heading
towards RoR) but could be persuaded to develop against the branch if a
merge was likely this year.

Exactly my position. I was even looking at TurboGears because they use
SQLAlchemy but then I see that it isn't totally integrated yet either.

I'd say a merge of the Oracle branch is very likely this year.
