Re: setting-up scarab 0.21 for oracle 10g

You'll, in time, find that the "core" of scarab is the db schema.
It is the schema design which sets scarab apart from other old-school 
style issue tracking systems which can only be applied to technical bug-
tracking systems and make huge presumptions about the life you want to 
live.

Quartz is not an integral part of scarab. It was a recent addition to 
enable scheduling specifically for notifications. Notifications use to be 
"live" and five subsequent edits on an issue resulted in 5 separate 
emails. Now with the scheduling in place, edits (and their notifications) 
are queued and sent in bundles. really a very nice feature. i'm unsure 
how to go about disabling it. (Jorge is the man here). Maybe try 
commenting out the quartz section in componentConfiguration.xml ...

> Make it simple and stupid is my credo. 

Sure. i agree. use mysql.
Really, mysql is amazing simple to set up. and what is the necessity in 
having all your databases in one installation? run mysql on the same box 
as scarab and add a cronjob to take db dumps and store them somewhere 
that is regularly backed up. Sure oracle is the best database out there, 
but what benefit is it going to offer you against scarab? it seems 
nothing but a headache for you. scarab's use is standard sql AFAIK so you 
wont be finding yourself in a vendor-lock-in, or drifting away from the 
oracle world...

i'm not trying to convert you, just keep you to your creed.

... but it'd also be great if you stick with oracle and iron out these 
hurdles :-)
