ibm db2 support

[chris rehfeld]

I'm considering using Sequelize for an upcoming project, but I need to use ibm db2. Sequelize doesn't seem to support db2 right now, but me and a friend are considering contributing a new dialect.

Assuming we do a decent job...would the project leads consider integrating it?

btw - I'm only considering offering db2 LUW (Linux Unix Windows) support, and not necessarily db2 for Z O/S. They're similar products, and so it's likely that the code would work for both in most cases, but there's nuances which differ between them.

We would definitely consider integrating it.
On the caveat that someone agrees to maintain it and answer questions related to it.
We integrated MSSQL on a similar premise and that didn't work out too great i'm afraid.

Sure, we don't mind maintaining it and answering questions.

If we decide to go ahead with it, we'll be in touch!

btw - beautiful code base.

Hi Chris,

Any luck in implementing the DB2 dialect for Sequelize?

If you've started out perhaps we could lend a hand..?

We are currently considering our options for an ORM that works with our legacy DB2 database. It happens to be DB2 for i Series, but I think the differences are small enough to have one dialect that will handle either, depending on the config settings, without overly complicating the code.

We ended up writing the project in java instead of node, so we didn't pursue the db2 adapter for now.

Best of luck!
