What with more and more users turning towards Joomla, it has become one of the most powerful and effective CMS platforms around. However, Joomla comes with its own set of limitations as well. The restriction of installing Joomla mainly on MySQL has posed as a major problem.
So, in an attempt to add to its features, this award winning CMS started working on porting Joomla on to Oracle. Oracle is one of the most complex databases out there and has a huge amount of non-standards. Joomla then successfully ported the Joomla 1.5 version to Oracle. The next step was support the Joomla 1.6 version on to multiple databases from Oracle and SQLServer to PostgressSQL.
An obvious question when supporting multiple databases is “How about ORM?” Object Relational Mapping is a kind of programming technique that converts data from incompatible systems into object-oriented programming languages. This creates a sort of virtual object database that is used in the programming language.
