[opennms-devel] Firebird DB support

I really want to install and use OpenNMS. However I really do not want
to install and use PostgreSQL. I have nothing against PostgreSQL but
prefer Firebird.

At Linux World 05 in S.F. I mentioned to a couple guys, manning the
OpenNMS booth. That I would be willing to work on adding support for
Firebird. Some time has past and I am starting to get some free time to
work on that. Time to put my time and effort where my mouth was.

Just wanted to get some info before I start proceeding. Can someone give
me a high level developer overview of what all I will need to modify. I
see the postgresql dir in the sources/src dir. I assume I will need to
replicate all that.

Are there any Java bindings or is it straight JDBC from there? Aside
from stored procs, and etc. I believe the iplike.c to be the external db
stuff I was told about at Linux World. Which I will need to replicate as
a UDF for Firebird.

Anything else I need to touch or port? I assume something within OpenNMS
so it has an idea of which db to use etc. Just looking for any info or
advice to save me some time as I start hacking away.

Thanks, and be kind I am an OpenNMS newb and have not spent much time
with the sources yet. This weekend, I plan to get somewhat intimate.
Just after my first date with OpenNMS. :)
