WebSphere Application Server support for postgres

Hi,

Our IT Company systems architecture is based on IBM Websphere
Application Server, we would like to migrate our databases to
Postgres, the main problem which stops us from doing that is Postgres
is not supported by IBM Websphere Application Server.
There is a Request for Enhancement that has been opened in IBM Web in
order to solve this issue, if you are interested in this enhancement
to be done, please vote for the Enhancement in the following link:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=27313

Please distribute the link in any other forum who might be interested
in this enhancement.

Thanks in advance and regards,

[Removing all lists except -hackers. Please do not cross-post to every
list again!]

A login is required to access that site. Can you provide a link or
info that doesn't require login please?

For sure i vote for it. Our Java Application Server based Software is
supported with DB2,Oracle,MS-SQL and PostgreSQL, but i doubt IBM will
consider it, because they sell a competitor Database called DB2 ;-)

We will see...

There is no reason to email all the lists. Removing ones that aren't
required. You are just going to irritate everyone.

Sure it is. I have clients that use it. IBM just doesn't want you to use
it, they would rather charge you. All you need is a JDBC driver and we
have that.

Now if you are saying IBM doesn't officially support Postgres, that is
an entirely different argument.

The relevant content of the ticket is basically just:

Description: WebSphere Application Server support for JDBC access to
PosgreSQL databases.
Use case: In WAS, be able to define and use JDBC providers and
datasources pointing to PosgreSQL databases.
