Hi All, After reading your comments, I think Django should keep supporting only open source databases, as well as other staff (operating systems, packages) and drop support for the closed source databases, operating systems etc. It seems to me that some of you think supporting Oracle was a mistake. I also think that it's better for an open source package (Django) to support other open source software and operating systems, and keep the closed source support for the providers. Nobody's stopping them from providing their own support for their closed source databases and packages, but I don't think Django should make an effort to support them in its core.
