install page - db support

"Django works with PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite."

That list seems short - settings.py has:

# 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'ado_mssql'.

$ ls django/db/backends/
ado_mssql  __init__.py   mysql      oracle      postgresql_psycopg2  util.py
dummy      __init__.pyc  mysql_old  postgresql  sqlite3              util.pyc

Is Oracle supported?

[Malcolm Tredinnick]

Oracle isn't supported at the moment and the existing Oracle backend in trunk won't work in all sorts of situations.

[Carl Karsten <carl@…>]

What about ado_mssql?

which I am about to try to use.

[Malcolm Tredinnick]

It's not really working, although there are some tickets in Trac that partially improve that. Perhaps you could ask support questions on the mailing list (django-users), rather than in Trac, though. You will get more help there.
