Hi all,
I've got Mediawiki running on a machine here at work and am
contemplating running MythTV at home. Looking at the installs, for
Gentoo Linux, they both need MySQL. I haven't had a look at the
underlying code yet, but I was wondering as to why it has to be MySQL?
Does anyone know if there is a reason I couldn't hack the code, and the
installs, and get Firebird in there instead? At home I run Firebird and
here at work we develop an app that will soon use Firebird as the data
store so if I don't have to run MySQL as well, it would be good. If no
one can think of a reason, I might look into this, hack the code, and
see if the apps will accept Firebird as a supported database.

Regards,
Andrew Lowe
