Wiki's are multiplying in my company but they are all on MySQL using open source Wiki software. Does anyone have Wiki built on Oracle DB? 7  out of 15 found this valuable. Do you?

Both Twiki and Confluence run on Oracle, I believe. 0  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Confluence definitely runs on Oracle. I had Confluence installed on Oracle9iR2, at my last gig.

Oracle WebCenter Suite does have a Wiki, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/gettingstarted.html (near the bottom of the page).
The WbCenter Suite Wiki is based on yawiki, not Wetpaint.

I have no idea why Oracle uses yawiki for WebCenter Suite, and Wetpaint for this wiki.

Hi Collip,

As far as my knowledge is concern this can be possible there is any to change the few Code Base of the Wiki & it will works with Oracle DB.

Please let me know If I am wrong.

Thanks,

MediaWiki supported Oracle for versions 1.5 and 1.6. Unfortunately, as no maintainer stepped up, support was dropped in 1.7 :( The supporting code is still out there if someone wanted to use it. 7  out of 9 found this valuable. Do you?

"Wiki's are multiplying in my company but they are all on MySQL using open source Wiki software. Does anyone have Wiki built on Oracle DB?"
simple answer: "It's an Oracle (corp.) choice"

yes indeed.

They would need to devote people and time to the real wiki (i.e. mediawiki, the first & real one).

Confluence & the others are commercial product, I don't know them so I can't say bad or good but certainly mediawiki is good,flexible, scalable
(you all know how many visitors wikipedia.org has).

I guess it would need from 2 to 4 programmers to add Oracle as possible choice as a backend to MediaWiki...since it appears they have cash to spend I hope they can devote 2 employees or contractors to this easy task.

We are using MediaWiki on oracle. One of our developers is also registerd on MediaWiki for maintaining oracle support.

We also have an oracle specific solution for multiple wikis on a single MediaWiki installation on a single oracle schema.

What is the version of MediaWiki are you using?
You have any documentation about integration Oracle/MediaWiki?
Thanks a lot

The latest svn version has an installer that works. We recomend that you use this.

1.15 version also has an installer bu the DB objects have some bugs so some things
have to be changed.

For previous versions you have to manually create the DB objects (no documentation).


If you are interested in having multiple wikis on a single MediaWiki installation on a single oracle schema you
have to contact us directly.The installation of the DB schema and MediaWiki software in this case is quite specific.
We do have scripts that automate this process but they are not guaranteed to work. We also have no documentation for
this kind of installation.

The last stable version that you can download is 1.15.1 which has a buggy installer for oracle.

The SVN (unreleased) version has the bug free installer for oracle (go to the MediaWiki site and check out how to download from SVN).
